A message from the Sport Whanganui Board

A collaborative mindset and approach is critical to achieve the best possible outcomes for our region. We continue to strengthen our relationship with our key investment partner Sport New Zealand as well as proudly working alongside Whanganui, Rangitīkei and Ruapehu District Councils, Te Whatu Ora Whanganui, and Ministry of Social Development. Together we navigate the challenges and deliver many successful outcomes within the community.

The financial support we receive from key funders including Sport New Zealand, NZ Community Trust, The Lion Foundation, and the Four Regions Trust, significantly assists our mahi. Their support plays a massive part in what we do and is hugely appreciated.

Our most valuable asset is our people. As a collective unit they are a dedicated, passionate, and committed group who strive to achieve our strategic goals and vision.
