Managers:
Sport Whanganui works to support and enhance the capability of Regional Sports Organisations and clubs across the region in a number of ways.
Our aim is to see more people active using parks, open spaces and community facilities. To achieve this, we draw on the collective expertise within our team as well as strong partnerships with like minded community organisations, as well as support and programmes from Sport New Zealand and other national bodies.
Our strength is in providing advocacy, advice, leadership and influence to activate, strengthen and connect communities and improve community health and wellbeing. This can include:
- Leadership and governance training
- Strategic planning advice, tools and templates
- Advice around starting a new club
- Information about funding opportunities
- Volunteer and coaching resources
- Disability sport opportunities

Positive Change Programmes
Tamariki and rangatahi want to have positive experiences in sport, active recreation and play. The good news is we can all contribute to positive change. Clubs, coaches, umpires, referees, whānau, and tamariki and rangatahi themselves, can make small changes that have an impact. Check out how through the Sport New Zealand positive change programmes we provide.
Disability Sport
Sport Whanganui works with clubs, schools and organisations to create opportunities for people with a disability to participate and compete.
Our organisation advocates for inclusiveness so that more people can be more active more often, no matter what their abilities.
