Working in partnership, Sport NZ is seeking to create sustainable change to increase capacity and capability within the play, active recreation and sport sector, to provide disabled tamariki and rangatahi (including young people up to age 24) with quality and equitable participation opportunities of their choice. The focus of the new Disability Inclusion Fund aims to achieve success across the disability spectrum, including physical disabilities, and particularly in focus areas of intellectual impairments, invisible impairments and inclusionary practices for all impairments.
Through an open contestable process, 16 recipients were selected to receive a total of $3,600,000 over the next two or three years for initiatives to increase opportunities for disabled tamariki and rangatahi to be active and to build capacity and capability in the sector.
This video series is about including disabled tamariki and rangatahi in sport and recreation. Learn what we can do to ensure everyone enjoys the benefits of being active, regardless of their disability, and hear from disabled young people themselves about how small changes can make a big difference to their lives.
This spotlight report uses information gathered through the nationwide 2017 Active NZ survey to focus on understanding the impact impairments have on participation.
