Trust Tairāwhiti contributed over $2.88m towards the Skate Park and Pump Track, two 'early win' projects in the Tairāwhiti Sports Facilities Business Case. Tairāwhiti Adventure Trust fundraised and project managed both facilities.
“These facilities are about building resilience in individuals and a community around these sports – but it is a far more holistic view on enriching people’s lives. We need to invest in social assets that will help people to live a more vibrant life.”
— Tairāwhiti Adventure Trust chair Haimona Ngata
The Trust contributed $120k towards the Surf for Life East Coast project, a Gisborne Boardriders Club East Coast surfing initiative. Enabling the installation of containers at Tokomaru Bay, Waipiro Bay and Wharekahika with equipment to provide surfing programmes for those communities.
The containers are filled with surfboards and wetsuits so people of all ages, from toddlers to pakeke, can get involved and enjoy surfing.
“We are incredibly proud to see our vision come to life; tamariki and whānau connecting with the moana and each other and sharing the stoke."
— Gisborne Boardriders Club surfing development manager Flo Bub
