MŌ PŪMANAWA ĀWHINA
ABOUT
Pūmanawa Āwhina, known as Community Connect is an initiative that works with communities using physical activity and recreation for community and social development to deliver human and social outcomes. It is an approach that engages all - sporting participants and non-participants, providing regular opportunities to take part in multiple sport and other activities in priority areas in Aotearoa. The foundations of Community Connect were formed around the principles of AWHI and the Value of Sport.
Community Connect commenced five years ago through a collaboration between NZ Police and Touch NZ. It has grown and evolved through a number of iterations, with the support of a range of cross-government and community partners. Currently Community Connect projects are being delivered across 9 priority communities, based on a locally-led delivery approach designed to meet the specific needs of the communities it partners with. It is a community-led initiative that aims to engage and empower communities through hauora to build social capital through collaboration and co-design with community, for community.
