Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday August 30 2023 Selwyn Times NEWS 11 Keeping the community active The Selwyn Sport Trust has been operating for a decade. Reporter Daniel Alvey looks at who is behind it and what its plans are THE TRUST started in 2013 using leftover funds from the first Selwyn Running Festival, now called the Selwyn Stampede Running and Walking Festival. To get it going there were four trustees Mike Molloy, Emma Wilson, Mike Lay and the late John F. Reid. Wilson remains a trustee today. At the helm is general manager Doug McSweeney who joined the trust in November with 25 years of experience in the sports space. McSweeney’s experience includes time spent working with Canterbury Cricket, Canterbury Golf and the Crusaders. Doug McSweeney “The vision for the trust when it was first set up was to get the whole community active. “I think the strategy since then has been refined and now there’s a clear focus and strategy on what the trust delivers,” McSweeney said. The trust has developed a strong number of programmes that it delivers in primary schools across the district. One of those is the Activator programme which is delivered in 26 schools and reaches more than 6,600 pupils in over 1000 sessions. McSweeney said the programme is designed to get the trust staff out and about and in the schools giving them the direct support they need. Along with the Activator programme, the trust also delivers a range of specialised programmes including the iBike programme, which focuses on teaching primary school-aged TEACHING: Selwyn Sports Trust staff (from left) Lily McClure, Dave Hoskins, Frejya Marshall, and Sarah McClure out and about teaching the trust’s iBike programme. children how to ride bikes. A new pilot programme, Her Rules, focuses on getting more female participation in sports. “Where it’s got to now and where it’s heading is really clear on strategy, we essentially deliver programmes and events. Most of our focus in recent times has been on primary schools.” The next step for the trust is the high school age bracket with a new rangatahi (youth) strategy being introduced across the district’s four high schools next year. McSweeney said the strategy will focus on building a pathway. “We are working with all these young people in primary schools, and when you put the secondary school age group into the mix then your pathway forms a really clear opportunity for these young people to be active. “If we can build a pathway for young people to be active, to enjoy play, to get the fundamentals of movement and then ultimately connect into traditional sport and nontraditional sport then you might be able to create a lifelong love of physical activity. Currently, the trust is funded through a number of revenue streams including a strategic partnership with the district LEADERSHIP: The Selwyn Sports Trust has focused on building leadership skills in primary-aged children. ON A ROLL: The trust delivers its iBike programme to 30 schools across the district. council, private sponsorship, and community grants. “If you ask anyone working in sport they would say it’s a very challenging environment to generate revenue,” McSweeney said. Going forward the trust is looking to secure a more stable level of funding. “We are trying to build a commercial model which is based more around commercial support rather than trying to apply for grants and funding.” Along with funding the trust is also looking to address some of the challenges faced in the district. “There is definitely some rural isolation with some of those schools which maybe aren’t in the larger towns, so I guess for us what we try and do is connect with those schools and their local community to support them.” The trust achieves this through their activators in schools, also hosting cluster events where they bring school groups together in place, which McSweeney said leaves lasting connections. McSweeney said a big focus is to create a level playing field for everyone to be active. “We ran a cluster event recently where we played sitdown volleyball, wheelchair basketball, and blind football. It’s not specifically designed for those special needs, it’s designed PHOTOS: SELWYN SPORTS TRUST for everyone. “I remember a great story from that event where I was talking to one of the teachers and (the children) were playing sit-down volleyball. I said ‘How’s it going?’ and she said, ‘See that young girl there, she doesn’t engage or participate in sport, but she hit the ball back over the net, one of the sporty kids said ‘awesome work’ and you should have seen the smile on her face’. “So I think for us, the more we can design to create those moments, we are making change for life.” The trust also runs programmes for adults, such as the four Road Runners & Walkers groups, and is looking at running a pilot e-bike training program for ages 65 plus. “It creates an opportunity for grandparents to bike to school with their grandkids, so that might be an event or day. For us, that’s connecting young people with different role models,” McSweeney said. The programmes for all ages are designed to get people active which culminates in them participating in larger events like the Lake Crichton Multisport Series or Koru Games, which then feed back into the programmes. The trust’s next major event is the Selwyn Stampede on November 12. Pick up litter and put it in the right bin. Drains go straight to our rivers and sea, help keep them clean.
