Sport and Leisure
Sport & Leisure is a vital part of our wellbeing and it is important we provide a specialist service for this aspect of our clients lives.
Sport and Leisure
With a vision of empowering New Zealanders who are blind, deafblind or low vision to enjoy an active and inclusive life of their choice, our specialists will support individuals and partner organisations to enable sustainable activity in the communities our clients live in.
Our team, guided by the Enabling Good Lives Principles, provide a number of different services such as connecting clients to community support groups and volunteers where required. We also help clients access mainstream sport and leisure activities and providers. In addition, we develop positive relationships with community providers, Councils, Regional Sports Trusts etc., that can assist our clients to be more active, and we advocate on behalf of the blind, deafblind and low vision community for more inclusive activities in the community.
