GOOD SORTS
FOR SPORT
Sport Waikato has had a grass-roots
focus since it first began and this year’s
recent Good Sort for Sport community
day was a way of giving back to its local
community.
Chosen from sports clubs, organisations
and schools across the Waikato region who
applied, this year Sport Waikato gave its
time to three projects; at Maramarua School,
Thames Valley Hockey Turf Society Inc and
Thames Squash Club.
All Sport Waikato staff worked on the
projects, which ranged from helping to
build a BMX track and garden at Maramarua
School, to painting, prepping and handyman
jobs at the other two locations.
“The day was about getting the staff
together as a team, giving back to the community
and helping our schools and clubs
to inspire and enable more people to be out
there and active,” says Sport Waikato chief
executive Matthew Cooper.
“We’re really doing what thousands of
amazing people do every day for schools and
clubs – volunteering our time to help ensure
that sport and physical activity is accessible
for all. What we’ve been able to achieve in
just one day is incredible and it’s so gratifying
to see the difference we’ve been able to
make as an organisation – all thanks to the
hard work and willingness of our staff.
“Organisations and schools really do
rely on the ‘good sorts’ in their community
– those that put up their hand to volunteer
their time, and they can always do with more
volunteers.
“Volunteers are the real backbone of our
communities – the ones who donate their
valuable time to make a difference. Sports
clubs and associations, schools and community
organisations are always looking for
more volunteers; it’s a great feeling to be able
to ‘do good’ in the community.”
