About Nuku Ora

 

Nuku Ora is the independent body for physical activity in the greater Wellington region. Established in 1990 with charitable status under the Charities Act, we believe physical activity has the power to transform lives. We are a Regional Sports Trust (RST) dedicated to improving the wellbeing of the communities we serve.

We operate within a wide geographical area, spanning the region between Ōtaki in the west, across to Eketāhuna in the east, and Wellington City in the south. The region encompasses eight territorial authority areas (matching the Greater Wellington Regional Council area).

Nuku Ora is governed by a Board of Trustees and managed by a CEO and four General Managers. Nuku Ora’s main funding partners are Sport NZ, Te Whatu Ora, ACC, New Zealand Community Trust, Eastern and Central Community Trust, and Four Winds Foundation. We also partner with other like-minded organisations such as territorial authorities, trusts and corporate sponsors.
