The IMPACT project (Innovative Movement Partners Activating Community Transformation), run by the Active Recreation and Locally-Led team at Sport NZ, aims to draw on the collective knowledge of these community-based organisations from across the motu to create system change.  The organisations involved are leaders in their respective communities when it comes to taking a rangatahi and whānau-centered approach to wellbeing, including supporting their communities to be more active. 

A ‘physical activity for youth and whānau development’ approach aligns with the Active Recreation for Rangatahi Plan 2021 – 2024 and the Sport NZ three approaches. The mahi and values of the organisations involved also map strongly to the Sport NZ Preferred Futures pou. 

Through ongoing connections, we want to understand how Sport NZ can create conditions for more organisations, like those that are part of the IMPACT project, to flourish.
