about us<br />
Sport Auckland is a Regional Sports Trust that was established in 1992. We are a Registered Charity, CC23631. We are governed<br />
by a Volunteer Board.<br />
As a charitable trust our purpose is to inspire our communities to live healthy active lives. To achieve our purpose we support<br />
and deliver play, sport, active recreation, health and wellness initiatives directly into the community, for the community. With<br />
finite resources we prioritise our work focusing on areas of high deprivation; areas where there are large pockets of inactive<br />
communities; areas where there are large pockets of inequity; and areas of need. We specifically service local communities within<br />
Central, East and South East Auckland.<br />
We are guided in our work using the Locally Led, Insights, Physical Literacy and Te Whare Tapa Wha frameworks. Our stakeholders<br />
have told us they want more opportunities to be physically active and to be able to live healthy lives. They also would like our<br />
support, advice, education, funding guidance, and leadership opportunities that will enable them to grow, develop, respond and<br />
become sustainable. They would like us to advocate and influence on their behalf, for their needs.<br />
To deliver on our purpose for the benefit of our communities and to create a large substantive social impact, you will find us<br />
working with and through regional and local partners.<br />

message from our ceo and chair<br />
He pāanui nō te Heamana me te Kaiwahaere Matua<br />
It is with much pleasure that we present Sport Auckland’s 29th <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>. This time last year Auckland was amid its second<br />
lockdown due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Since the inaugural lockdown in March 2020, Aucklanders have experienced a<br />
total of five lockdowns. There has been a constant disruption to play, sport and active recreation throughout the city. There has been<br />
constant disruption to the supply of our health and wellness initiatives to the community. We have been living with widespread<br />
uncertainty around what the future holds – and real turmoil has spread throughout many Aucklanders’ lives such as never been<br />
experienced before. The highly contagious and easily transmissible Delta variant has arrived on our shores. Undoubtedly we are<br />
in challenging and stressful times but again the resilience and positivity of Aucklanders has come to the fore.<br />
Elizabeth Edwards, an American Attorney and resilience expert, when speaking about resilience was quoted saying:<br />
“She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails”.<br />
And that is exactly what we have all done this year. While bouncing in and out of lockdowns, Sport Auckland has remained agile<br />
delivering our services in a hybrid model (face-to-face, on digital platforms, over the phone) and supported each other as best we<br />
could. We adjusted our “sails” accordingly.<br />
We watched in admiration as many sports codes, schools and community organisations have done likewise. The hours spent by<br />
many administrators and volunteers trying to make things happen, having to cancel competitions, tournaments and events, plan,<br />
re-plan and then abandon plans and yet still support each other and look after each other’s welfare and wellbeing has truly been<br />
awe inspiring. Some amazing positive work has been delivered right across Auckland to ensure our communities have still been<br />
able to participate in physical activity and wellbeing initiatives whenever and wherever possible.<br />
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain” – Vivian Greene<br />
Staying agile and resilient is now becoming a work of art – the dancing in the rain. To remain ahead of the game and relevant in<br />
today’s modern world our Board and Executive team checked in once again on our vision as a Charitable Trust. We remain strongly<br />
committed, more than ever, to our purpose of “Inspiring our communities to live healthy active lives”. We thank our highly engaged<br />
and committed staff who remain connected to our purpose and connected to their work in the community. Many successes and<br />
encouraging results of what they have achieved for our communities are recorded throughout this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>. And alongside<br />
them we also sincerely thank our volunteer Board for their time and expert stewardship throughout this challenging year.<br />
As a Charitable Trust, we acknowledge that we have finite resources (human and financial), so we continue to take a targeted<br />
approach to our work, unashamedly pointing our noses to help those in need. We have been asked to focus on addressing<br />
inequities that exist in our communities that prevent people from being able to live healthy active lives. We have been asked to<br />
help interrupt the negative effects of inactive communities and to expedite transformational change to active communities. We<br />
choose to address these issues through the delivery of our play, sport, active recreation and wellness initiatives specifically to<br />
those in need.<br />
We are fortunate that our 2020-2024 Strategic Plan aligns with that of our key funders. To that end we sincerely thank our major<br />
funders this year being Aktive, Auckland Council, Howick Local Board, Waitematā Local Board, Foundation North, NZCT, Lion<br />
Foundation, ADHB and CMDHB. We are indebted to you all for the trust and confidence you have in us to deliver initiatives, on<br />
your behalf, to our communities in need.<br />
A special mention to our Joint Venture partners, South Seas Healthcare and Papakura Marae, who have partnered with us in<br />
delivering our Green Prescription programme, on behalf of CMDHB to our South Auckland participants. Both organisations are<br />
already heavily ensconced in the South Auckland response to COVID-19 and play an enormous role here for their communities<br />
and yet still they have stepped up to partner with us in delivering the Green Prescription programme. Our sincere thanks to Tony<br />
Kake (CEO Papakura Marae) and Silao Vaisola-Sefo (CEO South Seas Healthcare) and their respective teams for their continued<br />
support and work.<br />
_<br />
We also would like to acknowledge the strong working relationships we have with the Orākei, Waiheke Island, Maungakiekie-<br />
Tāmaki, Puketāpapa, Howick, Waitematā and Albert Eden Local Boards; and the Tamaki, Roskill and Inner-City Primary School<br />
cluster groups.<br />

Sport Auckland remains a committed partner to the collective<br />
we are in with Aktive, Harbour Sport, Sport Waitakere and<br />
CLM Community Sport. Aktive plays a significant role for<br />
our Trust as they continue to be one of our key funders as<br />
well as a cornerstone partner under the Auckland Approach<br />
to Community Sport. Our Board has a very strong, healthy<br />
working relationship with the Aktive Board and we thank<br />
their Chair, Graham Child, for his continued trust and support<br />
of us.<br />
Earlier this year we bid farewell to Aktive’s inaugural CEO,<br />
Dr Sarah Sandley, and we take this opportunity to sincerely<br />
acknowledge and thank Sarah for the significant contribution<br />
she made for our sector in Auckland since Aktive’s inception<br />
in 2013. Jennah Wootten has been appointed to succeed<br />
Sarah as Aktive’s new CEO and we look forward to working<br />
closely with Jennah over the coming years.<br />
We would like to acknowledge the support we have<br />
received throughout the year from Sarah Dunning. Sarah<br />
is Aktive’s Sport New Zealand Relationship Manager but<br />
always gives her time to our whole collective Group. Sarah’s<br />
strategic thinking, intel and sage advice has been very much<br />
appreciated by us all here in Auckland.<br />
This year, on behalf of Sport New Zealand and Aktive, we<br />
were entrusted to be one of the distributors of the new Tū<br />
Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund. It was really pleasing to see<br />
that we deployed all our allocated $997,969 this year into<br />
our community for the benefit of our tamariki and rangatahi.<br />
It was also pleasing to see the variety of organisations<br />
who stepped up and delivered the play, sport and active<br />
recreation initiatives within our communities. We<br />
look forward to continuing these partnerships and<br />
oversight of the fund in the Central and South<br />
East regions of Auckland again during the <strong>2021</strong>-<br />
2022 financial year.<br />
Our sincere thanks are also extended to our IT<br />
support company Softsource Ltd, our website<br />
provider Sporty and West City Auto Group.<br />
Soft Source helped us enormously this year<br />
to upgrade our information technology and<br />
move our business to Microsoft 365. Likewise,<br />
Sporty have been a fantastic supporter and<br />
web provider of ours for many years now<br />
and <strong>2021</strong> saw them look after the build and<br />
hosting of our first ever Customer Relationship<br />
Management (CRM) system. It has been a breath<br />
of fresh air. West City Auto Group have been our<br />
motor vehicle supplier for several years now and<br />
continue to look after our fleet requirements while<br />
providing us with an excellent on-going service. We thank<br />
all three organisations for what they do for us to keep our<br />
charitable work on-going. Nothing is ever a problem when<br />
dealing with these three valued partners.<br />
And so ends another extraordinary financial year in Sport<br />
Auckland’s history. Throughout the remainder of this <strong>Annual</strong><br />
<strong>Report</strong>, you will see exactly what we have achieved. The team<br />
has done some amazing work in the spaces of Health and<br />
Wellness, Sector Support, KoriKori (Young People), Healthy<br />
Active Learning, Youth Sports, ActivAsian and Pasifika<br />
work. We have worked with sports organisations, churches,<br />
schools, community organisations, community health<br />
partners and Local Boards. We look back and reflect on this<br />
work, in partnership and collaboration with our stakeholders<br />
and communities, with a great sense of pride. And we look<br />
forward to continuing our servant leadership role on behalf<br />
of our communities. Through our collaboration, partnering<br />
and alignment with all our funders and stakeholders we have<br />
helped over 28,000 Aucklanders this year and eagerly look<br />
forward to working with everyone again to ensure there is<br />
equal opportunity for all, to live healthy active lives.<br />

young people<br />
During the year, we provided 241,700<br />
opportunities to over 19,000 tamariki<br />
through our school clusters. These quality<br />
experiences will promote a lifelong love of<br />
physical activity.<br />
Driven by student voice, tamariki in these<br />
clusters experienced a range of physical<br />
activity options that they may not normally<br />
have the opportunity to participate in. For<br />
these high deprivation communities, despite<br />
COVID-19 impacts, we were able to increase<br />
participation by providing another 70,000<br />
opportunities compared to last year (note<br />
2019-2020 was more negatively affected by<br />
COVID-19 cancellations).<br />
We positively impacted the lives of 2,990<br />
tamariki by providing Water Skills for Life<br />
sessions (previously known as Greater<br />
Auckland Aquatic Action Plan). Developing<br />
this crucial skill gives an understanding of<br />
how to survive and take care of themselves,<br />
whanau and friends in, on or around New<br />
Zealand’s waterways.<br />

TAMARIKI<br />
HEALTHY ACTIVE LEARNING<br />
Our Healthy Active Learning team have assisted 30 schools within Sport Auckland communities to develop healthy and active<br />
learning environments and create better connections with their communities.<br />
The team work alongside schools to<br />
• Develop teachers knowledge and understanding of the New Zealand Health and Physical Education curriculum,<br />
• How to create healthy food and drink environments,<br />
• How to provide quality experiences for tamariki.<br />
In <strong>2021</strong> our Healthy Active Learning workforce expanded with the addition of two Community Connector roles. The purpose of<br />
which is to support schools, kura and communities to identify, plan and implement opportunities for quality play, sport and physical<br />
activity experiences for tamariki. The work of the Connectors often ‘brings to life’ the practical application of the work of Advisors.<br />
A focus for our Connectors has been to build in-depth insights into schools and their community to recognise opportunities for<br />
connection, collaboration and quality experiences for tamariki.<br />
As well as our in school support we held two Healthy Active Learning Opportunities (HALO) workshops attended by over 80<br />
teachers in October and March. These workshops grew teachers understanding and ideas around delivering the curriculum to<br />
create quality experiences. In particular; cultural games, rethinking fitness, inclusion for all, play, Good Sports and Balance is<br />
Better.<br />
“It was great to listen and discuss the feedback today. You gathered so much information in one day<br />
and it was good to identify our school needs and the opportunities that have come about knowing<br />
these. I know Carolyn and I are super excited to start this new journey and look forward to working with<br />
you both.” – Teacher<br />

EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITIES<br />
Sport Auckland is proudly facilitating the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund on behalf of Sport New<br />
Zealand within the Central Auckland and Howick areas.<br />
This funding is available for projects or programmes that specifically aim to deliver play, active recreation and sport experiences<br />
for inactive tamariki and rangatahi.<br />
These young people may be inactive as a result of barriers to participate, such as cost, travel and low confidence, who could<br />
otherwise miss the opportunity for such activities without targeted efforts.<br />
The funding is focused on groups who are more at risk of missing out, identified as those living with a disability, in higher deprivation<br />
communities and girls and young women.<br />
Through Sport Auckland promoting the fund and guiding our community through the application process; a total of $997,969 was<br />
distributed into projects for the express purpose of providing tamariki and rangatahi with quality physical activity opportunities<br />
in play, active recreation or sport. These opportunities were driven by a locally-led approach and are delivered within the local<br />
community or school setting.<br />
During the 2020-<strong>2021</strong> year, the following organisations were successful in their application to our Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa<br />

VOICE OF OUR RANGATAHI<br />
Good news story<br />
The Voice of Rangatahi is an annual survey of participants and<br />
non-participants of school sport and physical activity. The<br />
survey is available across New Zealand for those secondary<br />
schools who want to be involved.<br />
This year, Sport Auckland had responses from 1,086 students<br />
at 7 Auckland secondary schools. 79% of our respondents<br />
were female and 21% were male.<br />
Some findings from our survey were motivators to work more<br />
intensely with 2 of our secondary schools.<br />
• Lynfield College results showed us that only 11% of<br />
respondents are physically active for 1 hour every day<br />
(Ministry of Health guidelines); and 67% of respondents<br />
want to do more physical activity in school. Lynfield<br />
College hoped to use this survey data to add strength to<br />
the need for their Sport Engagement Lead role.<br />
• Sport Auckland also presented findings to Selwyn<br />
College that showed a gap in activity for girls which<br />
needs to be addressed. Efforts are underway to create a<br />
young women and girls project at the school.<br />
Examples of barriers to partake in physical<br />
activity identified by our inactive students:<br />
• Too busy<br />
• Too tired or don’t have the energy<br />
• I don’t have the equipment I need<br />
• It’s too hard to motivate myself<br />
• Too hard to get to training<br />
• I don’t feel welcome or included<br />
“I feel I don’t do enough at school<br />
but I haven’t found a way to<br />
do more” – Voice of Rangatahi<br />
participant<br />
“I was not good enough, others<br />
hardly helped and only degraded<br />
me” – Voice of Rangatahi<br />

School Sport New Zealand Innovation in Sport Award<br />
Sport Auckland, together with Lynfield College, Mt Roskill Grammar School and One Tree Hill College were grateful to receive<br />
a School Sport New Zealand Innovation in Sport Award. This award recognises initiative in school sport that is deemed to be<br />
exceptional in providing quality sporting opportunities for students.<br />
Lynfield College, Mt Roskill Grammar and One Tree Hill College, in partnership with Sport Auckland, implemented Sport Engagement<br />
Leads in to their schools sport programmes. This role has a focus on increasing participation through quality sport opportunities<br />
beyond traditional options and driven by student voice.<br />
Over the last couple of years Sport Auckland’s RSD has been working in depth with Lynfield College, Mt Roskill Grammar School<br />
and One Tree Hill College focusing on increasing quality participation in physical activity and sporting opportunities in each<br />
respective school. Time and time again the NZSSSC data positions these schools in the lower echelons of student participation.<br />
Whilst we know that NZSSSC data does not present the holistic picture of student participation in schools we knew we needed to<br />
try something different to positively shift the upward curve of student participation.<br />
We needed to innovate. We needed a new improved narrative to tell. Leveraging off the play.sport successes that Lynfield College<br />
had in 2019, taking research and insights into account, aligning thinking with the Value of Sport and using the locally-led approach<br />
framework a potential solution was identified. It was determined to work from the inside and employ a person within each of these<br />
schools whose sole focus would be on creating quality sporting and physical activity opportunities beyond the traditional sporting<br />
model; based on the student voice.<br />
The Senior Leadership Teams of Lynfield College, Mt Roskill Grammar and One Tree Hill College saw the massive value in such<br />
a role. They each invested into their respective positions financially and in time committed to sourcing additional funding. Sport<br />
Auckland was encouraged by Sport NZ to innovate its thinking around how best to deploy Kiwisport investment within set criteria.<br />
Our RSD successfully advocated for the Kiwisport criteria to be better aligned to the needs of these Secondary School students. In<br />
turn, our Independent Advisory Group applied a growth mindset toward each school’s Kiwisport application looking at the potential<br />
positive impact such an investment could have for our rangatahi, particularly the inactive students. They favoured the Locally-Led<br />
Approach built from the inside. The focus was to give equitable opportunity for every student and to shift the needle considerably<br />
upwards in student participation and enjoyment statistics. All three schools employed fantastic and committed individuals who<br />
have already had an impact in their schools despite the chaos of COVID-19. Through these roles 1,400 students have received<br />
physical activity opportunities. Other outcomes include:<br />
• More opportunities in girls only setting;<br />
• Engagement in the home setting during<br />
lockdowns;<br />
• Increased engagement in physical<br />
activity;<br />
• Schools working in partnership with<br />
local sports clubs;<br />
• Increased engagement of school staff<br />
being involved in the sports programme.<br />
The role is highly valued by the schools with<br />

working together<br />
As part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in tandem with our fellow Auckland partners two contestable one-off funds<br />
were created to support our communities to return to play and to look at working together “differently and better”.<br />
The Junior Players Tāmaki Makaurau Fund distributed $536,000 across Auckland supporting tamariki and rangatahi to be able to<br />
continue playing in organised sport where the cost of membership or cost to play was identified as a barrier that prevented them<br />
from doing so. Several clubs in the Sport Auckland catchment area were successful with their applications to this fund.<br />
The Working Together Fund was set up to support projects where organisations wanted to work together to create transformational<br />
change. The Sport Auckland Board approved $40,000 of our Reserves to be deployed directly back into the community under this<br />
fund. We are pleased to announce that two projects we invested in were the Northern Region Football initiative (merger between<br />
Auckland Football and Northern Football Federation) and the Riverside initiative (Riverside Sports Club, Auckland Marist Rugby<br />
Club, Panmure Squash Club working together).<br />

Throughout the 2020-<strong>2021</strong> year Sport Auckland commenced new work with 18 clubs and groups in addition to clubs or groups we<br />
were already working with within our Communities of Activity.<br />
We took time to understand their needs, current state and preferred future state then provided tailored advice to help achieve<br />
their identified goals. This work has helped clubs and groups build their own internal capability to provide and deliver their sport<br />
or physical activity within the community.<br />
This assistance included:<br />
• Gaining incorporated society status for clubs and organisations<br />
• Providing strategic and annual planning advice and sessions<br />
• Funding advice and assistance on completing funding applications<br />
• Lease renewals<br />
• Governance advice and constitutional reviews.<br />
We continued to support clubs that we worked with last year to embed changes and continue their journey of capability<br />
development.<br />
During the year we delivered 4 workshops covering Funding, Planning, School/Club Links and the Working Together model to 67<br />
participants from 61 clubs via a mixture of in person and online formats.<br />

activasian<br />
spaces AND places<br />
Our ActivAsian programmes have provided physical activity opportunities<br />
to over 1,800 Asian participants from the Inner City and Howick areas.<br />
Within these communities we have connected and guided groups to move<br />
toward a more sustainable delivery model. Community leaders now have<br />
a better understanding of funding and delivery pathways which leads to a<br />
more sustainable future. We have upskilled 25 volunteers to deliver quality<br />
experiences for our Asian community, and through our women and girls focus,<br />
more Asian females have become more physically active. The community is<br />
now more engaged in activities that they themselves have told us they would<br />
like to participate in.<br />
Newmarket Station Square<br />
Our work, in conjunction with the Waitematā Local Board provided physical<br />
activity opportunities to 283 people at Newmarket Station Square. Sport<br />
Auckland was tasked with reaching a target audience at times when a space lay<br />
dormant. Activities were scheduled over 2 months and included Taichi, Table<br />
Tennis, Circus workshops, Chinese Line Dancing, Opera Movement and Yoga.<br />
FAMILY FUN<br />
1,800<br />
pEOPLE<br />
Our ActivAsian programme (Spike Spin Smash + Bootcamp) at the Pakuranga Leisure Centre provides opportunities for people<br />
of all ages and abilities to participate in physical activity. Attendance often exceeds 30 people per session. An example of the<br />
programme’s success:<br />
Daniel is a normal kid who can kick, run, jump and enjoys gaming on his PlayStation. However, Daniel was nonverbal until he<br />
was 3 and diagnosed with autism. He was 10 years old and eldest of 3 children when his parents decided to try our programme.<br />
Daniel’s mother acknowledged he may become anxious during the activities but in the long term he may build confidence and<br />
relieve his anxiety. A comfortable setting might be great for their family unit!<br />
In 2020-<strong>2021</strong> Sport Auckland has been successful in<br />
opening up spaces and places for physical activity<br />
within our communities and also worked on several<br />
larger scale multi-sport projects.<br />

The family attended the bootcamp first as this is what their friend did, Daniel became bored which distracted his family. The<br />
community supported Daniel and soon he had a couple of “big friends” who played badminton and basketball. In a couple of<br />
weeks, meeting his “big friends” and playing badminton and basketball was the highlight of Daniel’s week. He is now prompting<br />
the family to go to the leisure centre. Daniel’s younger sisters also made friends within the group and they also enjoy activities<br />
with the other members. The love of social sport in Daniel has been a welcome surprise for the family and they now look forward<br />

coaching<br />
Despite a disrupted year, Sport Auckland was able to support coaches and<br />
parents across our communities and provide various educational courses and<br />
workshops.<br />
Coach Emerge<br />
20 community coaches and 60+ student coaches across 7 secondary schools<br />
benefited from our Coach Emerge program. This program for foundation coaches<br />
highlights Good Sports principles and what a positive sporting experience for<br />
youth athletes can look like. All participants involved in this program highlighted<br />
an increase in confidence, knowledge and motivation towards coaching as a<br />
result of participating on the course. Everyone appreciated the new learnings<br />
around the Good Sports Spine and climate of development and highlighted<br />
a range of changes they intend to include in their coaching practice moving<br />
forward.<br />
Coach Evolve<br />
17 community coaches across a range of sports and organisations benefited<br />
from our Coach Evolve program. This advanced, generic development program<br />
supports coaches across a period of 4-5 months and provided development,<br />
networking, and collaboration opportunities.<br />
WOMEN AND GIRLS<br />
Sport Auckland has been working to provide opportunities for women and girls to participate in play, active recreation, sport,<br />
and coach development pathways by removing barriers. Using a Locally Led Approach we have responded to groups within our<br />
community that are in need and have used the Hera co-design frameworks to develop programmes tailored to their needs.<br />
Multi-Sport Programme<br />
We assisted our partner, Aktive, on a joint project with The Halberg Foundation.<br />
The results of the Halberg Youth Voice <strong>Report</strong> 2020 highlighted a need to<br />
address 12–21-year-old girls’ participation in physical activity. The aim of the<br />
project was to address the barriers young girls with impairments face to<br />
participating in physical activity, while simultaneously offering a leadership<br />
opportunity.<br />
Sport Auckland designed and led two initial focus groups to understand<br />
the barriers faced by these young women. 8 females aged between<br />
12-21 years old attended the focus groups. Two online follow up calls<br />
helped raise the voice of the young girls to develop a programme for<br />
girls, designed by girls.<br />
The result was a multi-sport programme that allowed the girls to try new<br />
sports or activities in a safe and welcoming environment. The activities chosen<br />
by the girls were, Kayaking, Table Tennis, Cross Fit, Boccia and Golf.<br />
Coach Developer<br />
Across the year a further 6 community leaders within the Sport Auckland region<br />
were upskilled as Coach Developers on our community coach developers<br />
training course. We also supported Aktive and other organisations (Auckland<br />
University of Technology and University of Auckland) with the delivery of 2<br />
coach developer training programs supporting the development of over 20<br />
final year sport students and other members (approx. 15 more) working in the<br />
sport sector.<br />
These programs are designed to upskill individuals to manage and develop<br />
their own coaches within their own environments.<br />
Good Sports / Balance is Better<br />
Alongside our coach development opportunities, Sport Auckland also delivered<br />
4 parent education workshops (another 3 were impacted by COVID-19<br />
lockdowns) targeting parents across our communities. An estimated 200<br />
parents across 2 secondary school environments learnt more about Athlete<br />
development and Good Sport principles to understand how they may better<br />
support their children.<br />
“Based on what I have learnt I will provide more free play<br />
opportunities for athletes and give more opportunities<br />
for player discussion” – Football Coach<br />
“Eye opening experience” – School Director of Sport<br />
Girls Emerge<br />
“Like everyone else, it’s the sense of being<br />
included” – Girls Focus Group participant<br />
Sport Auckland worked closely with the Sport Engagement Lead at Mt Roskill<br />
Grammar School to develop the coaching capabilities and confidence of 9<br />
young female coaches. This was achieved by using the voice and input<br />
from the girls to co-design the programme. The resulting programme<br />
utilised the existing Coach Emerge framework and was delivered in four<br />
smaller workshops. There was an emphasis on creating a safe, calm, and<br />
welcoming environment.<br />
The increased confidence was evident when we compare week 1 to week<br />
4 of the programme. At the start of the programme only 1 of the 9 girls<br />
said they would feel comfortable to attend Sport Auckland’s one day, mixed<br />
gender, local secondary school coach emerge workshop. In comparison at<br />
the end of week 4 all 9 girls felt confident to attend.<br />
“The opportunity to try out new sports and<br />
activities with a bunch of people where<br />
we share a common similarity of having a<br />
disability” – Participant<br />
“Thank you so much. I’ve made so many<br />
new friends” – Girls Emerge participant<br />
“I would definitely recommend the Coach Evolve<br />
Course to others. It’s a great way for a Club Coach<br />
to pick up generic coaching ideas and ways to run a<br />
successful program at their place of work” – Coach Evolve<br />

MAORI AND PASIFIKA<br />
Kia ora and Malo lava le soifua ma le lagi e mama.<br />
Sport Auckland’s Māori and Pasifika initiatives are focused on fostering positive and diverse environments that embrace social<br />
inclusion in sport, active recreation and play while creating a sense of belonging for all involved. To achieve this, we have utilised<br />
the Locally Led Approach to identify the needs of our communities and empower them to lead their own activities that engage their<br />
tamariki, rangatahi and whānau. This has resulted in healthy and vibrant environments where cultures can thrive, and participants<br />
feel comfortable to engage in an inclusive environment.<br />
It was evident from the onset that equal access to opportunities was a barrier which was inhibiting Māori and Pasifika participation<br />
in sport, active recreation and play. Language barriers, cost, venue hire, equipment and capability were cited as major barriers<br />
to participation. We prioritised addressing these barriers by working alongside our communities to better understand their needs<br />
and empowering them through resources and building capability.<br />

health and wellness<br />
our participants<br />
Our Health and Wellness team provide support for adults, rangatahi and tamariki who would like to become more active, improve<br />
their eating habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle.<br />
We develop and adapt our programmes through insights gathered from participant and referrer feedback, to meet the changing<br />
needs of our community. We aim to offer flexible support through each stage of our participant’s wellbeing journey.<br />
The COVID-19 pandemic encouraged us to find innovative ways to deliver our community based service and these innovations<br />
have now become a permanent fixture in our delivery model. Our online support is an example of this – we have delivered 69<br />
nutrition and wellbeing webinars this year alone, with up to 34 participants joining each online session.<br />
We have also introduced Saturday consultations at two community locations to further reduce barriers for people to engage with<br />
our service. Our Saturday sessions have been very well received and we shall continue to offer this as an option to our participants.<br />
In the Auckland District Health Board (DHB) region, Sport Auckland provides wellbeing support for whanau aged 5 years and<br />
above through delivering both Active Families and Green Prescription programmes. In Counties Manukau, we hold the Green<br />
Prescription contract with the DHB and are into our second year of partnering with South Seas Healthcare and Papakura Marae to<br />
best service those in our community aged 18 years and above.<br />
We continue to connect with our key delivery partners and thank them for their informative and engaging sessions which they<br />
deliver as part of our adult nutrition and wellbeing programmes.<br />
Highlights for the year include our Rangitoto walk and the development of our new Participant Management System.<br />
“I loved football today, I learnt how stop the<br />
ball and kick it back to my partner” – Active<br />
Families participant<br />
“Thank you for the session today… my<br />
turnaround started with the live exercise<br />
class… Getting active has improved my<br />
mental health” – GRx participant<br />

EXPLORING AUCKLAND's MAUNGA<br />
Rangitoto<br />
In October 2017, Sport Auckland collaborated with the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Fullers360 to make the inaugural<br />
Rangitoto walk happen.<br />
This event showcased one of the many great walks Auckland has to offer and soon became a biannual event for our Green<br />
Prescription walkers. With the majority of our Green Prescription sessions taking place indoors, this event connects groups with<br />
the outdoors and each other. The walk also exposes our participants to the many health benefits that nature provides, and for<br />
many participants, our Rangitoto walk has been the highlight of their Green Prescription journey.<br />
Despite missing DOC’s <strong>Annual</strong> Conservation Week due to COVID-19 restrictions at Alert Level 3, we were fortunate to reschedule<br />
our 2020 walk to late spring. Our November event marked our 6th Rangitoto walk and our 700th Green Prescription participant<br />
to reach the summit!<br />
Maungarei<br />
Our longest running Active Families group programme is delivered from Pt England Primary School, Glen Innes. This ‘Active<br />
-<br />
Whanau’ programme has an emphasis on fun and encouragement.<br />
The support from school staff, local activity providers and referrers have been fundamental in this success.<br />
Whilst children gain confidence in trying new activities both on land and in the water, one of the most popular sessions is when we<br />
walk up Maungarei. You’ll often see even our 4-legged whanau<br />
-<br />
members share the benefits this exercise session brings.<br />

“Wow that walk we had ! Was so amazing just want to say<br />

with joy and hope we can help others... keep up with the<br />

message from<br />
aktive<br />
It is my pleasure to acknowledge Sport Auckland’s mahi<br />
during yet another challenging year for play, active<br />
recreation and sport.<br />
With Sport Auckland’s purpose of “Inspiring our<br />
communities to live healthy active lives”, and Aktive’s<br />
vision of “Auckland – the world’s most active city |<br />
Tāmaki Makaurau – te tāone ngangahau rawa o te<br />
ao”, our kaupapa are aligned and focused in the same<br />
direction.<br />
Our aligned visions are underpinned by strategic<br />
priorities that look to help shape the future of play, active<br />
recreation and sport across Tāmaki Makaurau. Sport<br />
Auckland’s work added considerable value to these<br />
priorities during 2020-<strong>2021</strong> which have made a positive<br />
impact on physical activity levels in Tāmaki Makaurau.<br />
We greatly value Sport Auckland’s local knowledge and<br />
collaborative approach to its mahi which supports the<br />
communities it serves.<br />
Despite widespread uncertainty with COVID-19, this<br />
year has seen Sport Auckland build on its strong existing<br />
relationships with its Local Boards and school cluster<br />
groups, providing considered and tailored support.<br />
Other milestones of note include Sport Auckland<br />
distributing all its allocated $997,969 Tū Manawa Active<br />
Aotearoa Fund into its community, benefitting tamariki<br />
and rangatahi; positive shifts in the health and wellness<br />
space through the Green Prescription programme;<br />
and significant support of critical initiatives including<br />
ActivAsian, Healthy Active Learning and Korikori. In<br />
addition, an incredible milestone of over one million<br />
Water Skills for Life lessons in Tāmaki Makaurau was<br />
celebrated, with Sport Auckland contributing to this<br />
programme.<br />
Sport Auckland is a valued partner of Aktive; and we<br />
appreciate the commitment and contribution of Chair<br />
Andrew Williams, Chief Executive Mike Elliott, and the<br />
wider Sport Auckland Board and team. We look forward<br />
to continuing to work together to ensure a more active<br />
Tāmaki Makaurau for generations to come.<br />

1. <strong>Report</strong>ing entity<br />
The reporting entity is Sport Auckland (previous legal name, Auckland Central Sports Trust). Sport Auckland is a<br />
Charitable Trust incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 and a registered Charity under the Charities Act<br />
2005.<br />
These financial statements and the accompanying notes summarise the financial results of activities carried out by<br />
Sport Auckland.<br />
These financial statements have been approved and were authorised for issue by the Board of Trustees on the date<br />
indicated on page 44.<br />
2. Statement of compliance<br />
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New<br />
Zealand (“NZ GAAP”). They comply with Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standards<br />
(“PBE IPSAS”) and other applicable financial reporting standards as appropriate that have been authorised for use<br />
by the External <strong>Report</strong>ing Board for Not-For-Profit entities. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP, Sport<br />
Auckland is a public benefit not-for-profit entity and is eligible to apply Tier 2 Not-For-Profit PBE IPSAS on the basis<br />

The Board of Trustees has elected to report in accordance with Tier 2 Not-For-Profit PBE Accounting Standards<br />
and in doing so has taken advantage of all applicable Reduced Disclosure Regime (“RDR”) disclosure concessions.<br />
3. Changes in accounting policies<br />
There have been no changes in accounting policies.<br />
4. Summary of accounting policies<br />
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements as set out below have<br />
been applied in these financial statements.<br />
REVENUE FROM NON-EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS<br />
• Aktive funding is received in instalments and is recognised as revenue to the extent the use or return conditions<br />
have been met.<br />
• Grant revenue includes grants given by trusts, central and local government organisations and is recognised<br />
in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense when the conditions attached to the grant have<br />
been complied with. Where there are unfulfilled conditions attached to the grant, the amount relating to the<br />
unfulfilled condition is recognised as a liability and released to the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and<br />
Expense as revenue when the conditions are fulfilled. If there are no conditions attached to the grant, revenue<br />
is recognised at the time the funds are received.<br />
REVENUE FROM EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS<br />
• Interest is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate<br />
that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial<br />
instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.<br />
• Sports House Recoveries are recognised in the period to which they relate.<br />
4.4 Financial instruments<br />
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Sport Auckland becomes a party to the contractual<br />
provisions of the financial instrument.<br />
Sport Auckland derecognises a financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of<br />
similar financial assets when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or are waived, or Sport<br />
Auckland has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the<br />
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party; and either:<br />
• Sport Auckland has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or<br />
• Sport Auckland has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has<br />
transferred control of the asset.<br />
4.1 Basis of measurement<br />
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.<br />
4.2 Functional and presentational currency<br />
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is Sport Auckland’s functional currency.<br />
Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar.<br />
4.3 Revenue<br />
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit or some potential benefit<br />
will flow to Sport Auckland and revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of<br />
the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and<br />
excluding goods and services taxes or duties. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before<br />
revenue is recognised.<br />
FINANCIAL ASSETS<br />
Financial assets within the scope of NFP PBE IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement<br />
are classified as financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity<br />
investments or available-for-sale financial assets. The classifications of the financial assets are determined at<br />
initial recognition.<br />
The categorisation determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense is<br />
recognised in surplus or deficit or in other comprehensive revenue and expenses. Sport Auckland’s financial<br />
assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, or loans and receivables.<br />
Sport Auckland’s financial assets include: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables from<br />
non-exchange transactions, receivables from exchange transactions and investments.<br />
All financial assets except for those at fair value through surplus or deficit are subject to review for impairment at<br />
least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial<br />
asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each<br />
category of financial assets, which are described below.<br />

Notes to the Financial Statements<br />
For the year ended 30 June <strong>2021</strong><br />
• Financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit include items that are either classified as held for<br />
trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated at fair value through surplus or deficit upon initial<br />
recognition.<br />
• Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted<br />
in an active market. Sport Auckland’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables from<br />
non-exchange transactions, receivables from exchange transactions and non-equity investments fall into this<br />
category of financial instruments.<br />
• Impairment of non-derivative financial assets - the trust assesses at the end of the reporting date whether<br />
there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset<br />
or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if there is objective evidence of<br />
impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss<br />
event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the<br />
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, if there<br />
is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been<br />
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the<br />
present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest<br />
rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of loss<br />
is recognised in the surplus or deficit for the reporting period. In determining whether there is any objective<br />
evidence of impairment, the Trust first assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment of financial<br />
assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively significant for financial assets that are<br />
not individually significant. If the Trust determines that there is no objective evidence of impairment for an<br />
individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit<br />
risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for<br />
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective<br />
assessment for impairment.<br />
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES<br />
Sport Auckland’s financial liabilities include trade and other creditors (excluding GST and PAYE), employee<br />
entitlements, loans and borrowings and deferred income (in respect to grants whose conditions are yet to be<br />
complied with).<br />
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value (plus transaction cost for financial liabilities not at fair<br />
value through surplus or deficit) and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest<br />
method except for financial liabilities at fair value through surplus or deficit.<br />
4.5 Cash and cash equivalents<br />
Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts<br />
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />
4.6 Property, plant and equipment<br />
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation is charged at rates<br />
calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of the asset less any estimated residual value over its remaining useful<br />
life:<br />
• Furniture and fittings 6.45% - 11.11%<br />
• Office equipment 10.00% - 40.00%<br />
• Office improvements 11.11% - 33.33%<br />
• Intangile assets 10.00% - 40.00%<br />
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted if<br />
there is a change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits or service potential<br />
embodied in the asset.<br />
4.7 Leases<br />
Payments on operating lease agreements, where the lessor retains substantially the risk and rewards of ownership<br />
of an asset, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.<br />
4.8 Employee benefits<br />
Liabilities for salaries and annual leave are recognised in surplus or deficit during the period in which the employee<br />
provided the related services. Liabilities for the associated benefits are measured at the amounts expected to be<br />
paid when the liabilities are settled.<br />
4.9 Income tax<br />
Due to its charitable status (Charities Services number CC23631), Sport Auckland is exempt from income tax.<br />
4.10 Goods and services tax (GST)<br />
Revenues and expenses are recognised net of the amount of GST except for receivables and payables, which are<br />
stated with the amount of GST included.<br />
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Inland Revenue Department is included as part of<br />
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.<br />
4.11 Equity<br />
Equity is made up of the following components:<br />
Accumulated Comprehensive Revenue and Expense since Sport Auckland’s formation.<br />
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.<br />
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Where an asset is acquired<br />
through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is measured at its fair value as at the date of acquisition.<br />

5. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions<br />
The preparation of Sport Auckland’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and<br />
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying<br />
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could<br />
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in<br />
future periods.<br />
JUDGEMENTS<br />
In the process of applying Sport Auckland’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,<br />
which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.<br />
OPERATING LEASE COMMITTMENTS<br />
Sport Auckland has entered into a number of vehicle leases and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.<br />

RSM Hayes Audit provides audit services to Sport Auckland. Total amount recognised as an audit expense is<br />
$10,058 (2020: $8,500). No non-audit services are provided by RSM Hayes Audit.<br />
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,<br />
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within<br />
the next financial year, are described below. Sport Auckland based its assumptions and estimates on parameters<br />
available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future<br />
developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of Sport<br />
Auckland. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.<br />

20. Going concern<br />
On 17 August <strong>2021</strong>, the New Zealand Government commenced Covid-19 lockdown restrictions for Auckland, which<br />
are still in place at this time. While further extended lockdowns would likely further negatively affect operations<br />
and some revenue streams, after consideration of the future funding secured and the organisation’s financial<br />
position at the date of authorising the performance report the Board is satisfied that the organisation will be able<br />
to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future. Hence the preparation of the performance report using<br />
the going concern assumption remains appropriate.<br />

Opinion<br />
We have audited the financial statements of Sport Auckland, which comprise:<br />
• the statement of financial position as at 30 June <strong>2021</strong>;<br />
• the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense for the year then ended;<br />
• the statement of changes in net assets/equity for the year then ended;<br />
• the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and<br />
• the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies.<br />
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements on pages 45 to 57 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial<br />
position of Sport Auckland as at 30 June <strong>2021</strong>, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in<br />
accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards<br />
Board.<br />
Basis for opinion<br />
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). Our responsibilities<br />
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of<br />
our report.<br />
We are independent of the entity in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance<br />
Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance<br />
Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.<br />
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.<br />
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Sport Auckland.<br />
Other information<br />
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on pages 1 to 44 (but<br />
does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s<br />
report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit<br />
opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.<br />
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and,<br />
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge<br />
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other<br />
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this<br />
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.<br />
Responsibilities of the trustees for the financial statements<br />
The trustees are responsible, on behalf of Sport Auckland, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in<br />
accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime, and for such internal control as those charged with<br />
governance determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,<br />
whether due to fraud or error.<br />
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible, on behalf of the Sport Auckland, for assessing the Sport<br />
Auckland’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going<br />
concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate Sport Auckland or to cease operations, or have no<br />
realistic alternative but to do so.<br />
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements<br />
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material<br />
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance<br />
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a<br />
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually<br />
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial<br />
