SPORTSPASIFIK PROGRAMME<br />
SportSPasifik targets the Pacific community and aims to increase participation in sport and recreation<br />
and improve nutrition. The project addresses barriers to healthy lifestyles by facilitating wellbeing and<br />
community cohesion. The Kaipatiki region, which is home to the greatest number of Pacific people in<br />
our region, remains the key focus of our programme delivery. The ongoing development of the project<br />
over recent years has created a life stage model, which now enables Harbour Sport to offer our Pacific<br />
community the opportunity to become and remain engaged in the programme regardless of age. The<br />
continued growth of the project, particularly over the last 2 years, has seen a significant increase in<br />
the impact made on our ever-increasing Pacific community. The fact that all of the elements in the<br />
programme are delivered locally in their community is a significant factor in this success.<br />
