Nuku Ora is committed to improving the quality of sport, active recreation and play experiences. Through our work, we strengthen the physical activity system of our region. We partner with organisations to develop, support and connect those providing opportunities to be active. We understand that transforming lives in the Wellington region takes a strong capable workforce that includes coaches, administrators, volunteers, community leaders, and parents; all of who benefit from regular development to increase their influence and potential.

Within our work in community development we focus on the following:

  • Building participation of tamariki and rangatahi in all parts of physical activity
  • Developing capability at all levels of the physical activity system
  • Strengthen connections and influence
  • Improving the delivery of meaningful community sport experiences

Future of Sport for Rangatahi in NZ

In 2022, Nuku Ora in partnership with five RSOs, College Sport Wellington and Sport New Zealand, commissioned Kantar Public to identify the different barriers and drivers to rangatahi (aged 15-18) participating in sport and to understand the level of impact each of the barriers and drivers has on their participation. Ultimately, we wanted to gain a better understanding of how to increase rangatahi participation rates in sport in the wider Wellington region.
