A national initiative to promote sport for schoolaged
children, KiwiSport is clearly aligned
with The Auckland Approach to Community
Sport, with young people aged 5-18 years a
priority group, and schools a core focus of the
community sport strategy.
The fund aims to:
• Increase the number of school-aged children
participating in organised sport
• Increase the availability and accessibility of
sport opportunities for all school-aged children
• Support children to develop skills that enable
them to participate confidently in sport
KiwiSport funding had delivered the
following outcomes in 2017/18:
• $3,909,018 of KiwiSport funding granted
to 220 projects
• 299,076 young people benefitted from
KiwiSport delivery
• Of this group, 88% were aged 5-13 years
and 12% were aged 14-18 years.
An independent KiwiSport Advisory Group was
established in Counties Manukau to facilitate
funding for projects and initiatives that provide
new or increased opportunities of organised sport
for children in the area.
Māori are identified as a target priority group of
The Auckland Approach to Community Sport, and
He Oranga Poutama (HOP) is continuing its valuable
work to increase participation of Māori in sport and
traditional physical recreation in Tāmaki Makaurau.
A Sport New Zealand initiative,
HOP provides Māori sport
advice, delivery, support and
leadership across Auckland.
The past year has seen the HOP team
support and connect communities with
proven results:
• Significant participant growth to 17,903 individuals
across HOP ki Tāmaki activities
• 76% of HOP activities carried out with young
people – another target priority group for The
Auckland Approach to Community Sport
• Core HOP ki Tāmaki activity is Ngā Tāonga Tākaro
(traditional Māori sports), followed by Leadership
and Organisational Capability
• All activities score between 10-15 on the Te
Whētū Rēhua evaluation measure, a tool to help
sport and recreation providers consider how they
might design or adapt activities to be culturally
responsive to Māori. This means all activities
met both participation and culturally appropriate
outcomes as defined by Sport New Zealand
• 61% of participants Māori with 39% non-Māori.
