## Purpose

At SPORT WAITAKERE, our purpose is to make a difference in our West Auckland community by enabling healthy and active lives. We do this by providing sport & recreation programmes, events, training and support at no cost or low cost. We believe in the value of sport and that everyone deserves the opportunity to participate. We aim to increase participation in sport and recreation and improve the capability of sport/recreation providers (such as clubs, schools and community organisations) in West Auckland, for the benefit of our community. We work within the boundaries of Auckland Council’s three local boards – Whau, Waitakere Ranges and Henderson /Massey. We work in a complex environment. At any one time, we can have 60+ projects on the go across all aspects of sport and recreation!
