Connecting with our community
Our Community advisors focus on facilitating partnerships and connections at a local level within their Communities of Activity. This is achieved by engaging participants in both decision-making and delivery.
Our purpose is to Identify, support and enable local champions within each Community of Activity allowing for them to take the lead.
A well connected community can achieve great things together through a localised approach.

Programmes we support
Active Youth
CLM Community Sport has partnered up with Aktive, Auckland Council and CLM to deliver a free 12 week Wellness Programme designed for youth across the Auckland area.
The Aunties
Aunties is a locally-led initiative supported by CLM Community Sport by encouraging Aunties to get active anytime, anywhere, anyway with anyone. It is a platform that brings together Pasifika woman from all walks of life locally, nationally and across the ditch. All of them with the common goal of increasing personal health and wellbeing through physical activity, individual and group challenges, and general fellowship of women inspiring and motivating each other on their individual and collective journeys
South Auckland Adventure Programme
An exciting initiative funded by Trillian Trust and delivered in colalboration with Vector Wero Whitewater Rafting. 2019 provided the opportunity for over 500 Pacific Island, Maori and Indian males within the South Auckland area to increase water safety awareness with the intent of reducing drowning statistics through education. In 2020, further funding was received to expand and scale up the programme to also include women and girls, whanau and males across diverse settings.
Bruce Pulman Park
A collaborative relationship has provided CLM Community Sport the opportunity of working closely with the facility to connect the wider Counties Manukau community. Access to the facility via a number of initiatives has enabled the community to utilise the amazing facilities in the delivery of community, recreational and sporting opportunities. KiwiSport funding support has enabled schools and providers to deliver quality experiences to young people across the region.

This locally-led community network has evolved to become a stronghold within the Papakura Community. Made up of a number of passionate and committed members, with representation across various sectors, it seeks to facilitate and co-ordinate a range of initiatives for the benefit of the wider community.
