Sport Hawke's Bay is your local Regional Sports Trust, a charitable trust established in 1989 to assist the development of sport and active recreation organisations and structures in the region.
Sport Hawke's Bay is one of 17 such Trusts, which together make up the Sportnet Group. Our major focus is to increase participation in sport and active recreation pursuits by the people of Hawke's Bay. Often this is by improving the delivery structures which make sport and active recreation happen and the Trust's mission statement, "leading the development of sport and active recreation in Hawke's Bay" reflects this. With increased participation comes the many desirable by-products of a healthy, active community with improved social harmony and total community wellbeing adding to a strong regional economy. Thus Sport Hawke's Bay also has strong links to other sectors such as Health, Education, and Tourism.
Our team of sports professionals is dedicated to this task through training, publicity, advocacy and education. We cannot do it all ourselves but we can train, educate and advocate to others in order to provide the tools to deliver for their own organisations. By working in these areas Sport Hawke's Bay is creating more people being more active more often.
Sport Hawke’s Bay is an organisation which delivers on behalf of its partners in training, education and advocacy using sport and active recreation as its medium. Sport Hawke’s Bay’s key partners include SPARC (Sport and Recreation New Zealand), Eastern and Central Community Trust, Hastings District Council, Napier City Council, Wairoa District Council, Central Hawke’s Bay District Council, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, ACC, Hawke’s Bay District Health Board, Hawke’s Bay Secondary School Principal’s Association, EIT Hawkes Bay and Ministry of Social Development.
Above all else, Sport Hawke’s Bay is an organisation that works for its community.
