Nationwide KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund (RFP) review update
|
|
Sport NZ are currently undertaking a nationwide review of the KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund (RPF). The KiwiSport Review is future focussed, with the objective to identify how KiwiSport can best impact young people’s participation from 2020 onwards to support New Zealanders developing a life-long love of participating in community sport.
Recommendations (developed following an extensive consultation process, led by Sport NZ) will be submitted to the Sport NZ Board in November. An update will be provided to the sector in early 2019. If any changes to the KiwiSport RPF are approved by the Sport NZ Board, these will not take effect until July 2020, in line with Sport NZ’s new strategy.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to our KiwiSport RPF review in June.

Acknowledging volunteers - sharing their story
|
|
Our Volunteer Senior Adviser Ken Allen has developed a case study of a volunteer who has made a positive difference to her sport and its people. The case study is a story of Bubs Rewiti, told by some of the people around her. Such stories are wonderful ways to acknowledge volunteers who have made a real difference because they are so meaningful for the volunteer. There are lots of simple ways to tell a story, such as a book of letters, a framed photo with comments , and even a simple video taken on a smart phone.
