Sports gear wanted for Porirua youngsters
The hunt is on for sports gear to help Porirua youngsters play sport.
The community sports bank at Te Rauparaha Arena is approaching its first birthday, and the call has gone out for summer sports gear.
Sports equipment for the sports bank is donated by clubs, sports organisations, the public and from lost and found at council recreation centres and swimming pools. It’s then given to tamariki to remove some of the cost barriers of playing sport - which has significant social and physical benefits.
Schools, police, coaches, clubs and other agencies identify those in need, who can then access the equipment for free, using a printed card they are issued.
Anyone with items to donate can contact Keith Tahere at Te Rauparaha Arena - Keith.tahere@poriruacity.govt.nz
