We're building a strong physical activity system through advocacy and influence
As the regional sports trust for the Bay of Plenty we understand we're just one cog in a larger physical activity system. But by developing strong connections and advocating for collective action we're aiming to build enough momentum across the system to improve physical activity opportunities for everyone.
Connecting and upskilling through Mana Taiohi
Facilitate collaboration and capability building across the sector.
Across June and July 2022, Sport Bay of Plenty collaborated with Ara Taiohi - Aotearoa's peak body for youth development - and Sport New Zealand to embark on a sector-wide connection and upskilling effort on youth engagement.
Healthy Active Learning initiative enters Phase 2 expansion
Influence system change to ensure all tamariki have access to quality physical activity options.
Sport Bay of Plenty’s work in improving child and youth wellbeing through healthy nutrition and physical activity is continuing to thrive through expansion of the Healthy Active Learning intiative.
Exploring the power of play and it's value to local communities
Identify community-led approaches to ensure systems growth.
Understanding the barriers and enablers of play today is critical to advocating for great play opportunities for the Bay of Plenty's tamariki. That's why we've been working with Sport New Zealand Ihi Aotearoa to gain valuable insights into the power of play and how tamariki view and experience play opportunities in their local neigbourhoods.
Tamariki find confidence and pride on jiu jitsu mats
Through our role as a funder influence the system to create efficiencies that ensure increased participation.
Students at Te Kura o Tāneatua in the Eastern Bay of Plenty are getting active and developing their leadership skills thanks to a popular Brazilian jiu jitsu programme supported by Tū Manawa Active Aoteroa funding.
