Commitment 4

Active Recreation for Rangatahi Plan

Commitments and actions
Titikaha
Establish new partnerships and invest resources externally and internally

This commitment will help us bring to life the Mana Taiohi principles of Hononga and Whanaungatanga as we build reciprocal relationships with those who are already enhancing the mana of young people by strengthening the positive connections they have to their community and environment.

“With this funding, we have been able to take a comprehensive approach across our whole organisation. We’re on a journey to be more accessible to disabled people and inclusive of all the communities we serve.”
