other funds
Individual Hardship Fund
This fund will provide direct support to individuals in financial hardship to support them to access quality physical activity opportunities.
This assistance will help individuals, particularly children, young people and their whanau, to address the barrier of cost to participation by providing them with support with the cost of items such as sports shoes, equipment and transport so they can participate in physical activity opportunities.
The funding will be delivered in partnership with organisations that already provide support for those most in.
