Halberg Active

The Halberg Foundation aims to enhance the lives of physically disabled New Zealanders by enabling them to participate in sport and recreation. They do this by running the following programmes:

• Halberg Inclusion Training: courses on adapting sport to include physically disabled New Zealanders. The aim of Halberg Inclusion Training is to increase the knowledge and skills of teachers and sport deliverers to give them the confidence and resources to deliver quality sporting opportunities to physically disabled people.
• Halberg Activity Fund: funding provided to enable physically disabled young people, aged 5-21, to participate in sport and recreation by reducing financial barriers. Funding can be used for equipment, lessons and/or coaching or to attend a camp.
• Halberg Games: a three-day national sports festival open to young people aged 8-21 with a physical or visual impairment. The Games provide participants with the opportunity to compete against other young people with similar impairments in a range of sports.
