Rates of rangatahi youth participating in active recreation have fallen by 6% since Covid, according to research by Active NZ.
Sport Tasman hopes to turn that statistic around with targeted approach programmes like Marlborough-based Ngahi Foha oe Moana Pasifika that link with the values and interests of young people and encourage them to go back into active recreation.
South Island funder Rātā Foundation supports the programme through its rangatahi partnership with Sport Tasman.
