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.

We work closely with local schools and clubs to support people to attend programmes and events such as Sport Ability Days and Halberg Games. If you are interested in finding out more about how we can support you or your whānau, please contact our Diversity & Inclusion Lead, Sarah Craig at 027 282 6717 or call the Sport Whanganui office on 06 349 2300.

Disability Activity Directory – Whanganui region

The Disability Activity Directory is a list of sport, recreation and play activities available for disabled people in our region. The list is updated regularly by Sport Whanganui and is also available as a printable PDF download. If your club or organisation would like to list an activity on the directory, please contact Sarah Craig on 027 282 6717.

Resources for clubs

We can provide support and advice to clubs and organisations to help plan and deliver activities that are inclusive and accessible for all.

Check out our Resources for clubs page for useful links and information.

Diversity & Inclusion

Everyone should have the opportunity to be actively involved in whatever sport or activity they choose, in whatever capacity they choose. Everyone should be encouraged to participate and enjoy play, active recreation and sport without prejudice, in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Head to the Sport New Zealand website for diversity and inclusion information and help with policies for your club or organisation.
