Oranga Tamariki and Sport New Zealand to increase sport participation for kids


Oranga Tamariki has teamed up with Sport New Zealand to improve access to sport for Kiwi children in government care. Ngā Hapori – a joint Oranga Tamariki and Sport NZ pilot programme - showed just how important role models and mentorship are for our young people. MONIQUE FORD/STUFF Grainne Moss, chief executive of Oranga Tamariki, has signed an agreement with Sport New Zealand to help kids in care gain more sport participation. Sport NZ CEO Peter Miskimmin says sport and other forms of physical activity have the proven ability to enhance children's wellbeing, connectedness and academic achievement. "We're excited about how we can maximise these benefits for vulnerable and at-risk children through closer collaboration with Oranga Tamariki."
