OUR STORY

Sport Hawke’s Bay exists to enhance the health and wellbeing of Hawke's Bay by influencing, enabling and supporting our communities to be more physically active. 

To achieve this we focus on:

• Young People - tamariki (ages 5-11) and rangatahi (ages 12-18)
• Less Active Communities - geographic or social communities where there are barriers to engaging in physical activity 

Established in 1989, Sport Hawke’s Bay makes up a network of regional sports trusts throughout the country. We are seen as being an independent voice of play, active recreation and sport while also using physical activity to encourage people to live a more active and healthier lifestyle. The Sport Hawke’s Bay head office is based at Pettigrew.Green Arena in Taradale, with offices also in Waipukurau and Wairoa.

Sport Hawke’s Bay is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Graeme Taylor and managed by a Chief Executive, Ryan Hambleton.

The programmes and services managed by Sport Hawke’s Bay are available for all communities in the Hawke’s Bay region.
