What we do

Halberg Trust Sport Opportunity Programme

The Halberg Trust Sport Opportunity Programme is committed to ensuring people with a disability can participate in inclusive sport and active leisure within their community. 

The Programme is delivered by Sport Opportunity Advisors who work within the Regional Sports Trusts located throughout New Zealand. The Advisors and Regional Sports Trust staff work together to achieve the Programme's goals. The Programme, which started in June 2000, is all about encouraging and enabling people with a disability to participate with their peers in an inclusive environment as they develop within a sporting or recreational pathway.

The major objective of the Halberg Trust Sport Opportunity Programme is to provide people with the skills and confidence for inclusion into sport and active leisure with their peers.

Integration into inclusive activities is of primary importance in the delivery of the programme. Our vision is to enable more people with a disability the opportunity to be more active, more often.

INCLUSION is not just a disability issue
INCLUSION is about our abilities
INCLUSION is about all of us
INCLUSION is about living full lives
INCLUSION treasures diversity and builds communities
