What is the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa fund?

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa (Tū Manawa) is an activation fund that supports tamariki (5-11yrs) and rangatahi (12-18yrs), particularly those that are less active, to access quality play, active recreation, or sport opportunities of their choice in their community or school and kura.

A wide range of organisations that provide physical activity opportunities for tamariki and rangatahi are encouraged to apply, particularly those supporting the following target groups that are known to be less active:

  • Young women and girls (5-18yrs)
  • Disabled tamariki and rangatahi (5-18yrs and including those in schools up to the age of 21)

We also welcome applications supporting less active participants outside of these target groups.

As a regional delivery partner of Aktive, CLM Community Sport is responsible for projects delivered in the Counties Manukau area (excluding Howick – Pakuranga)

Before starting your application, please review the following information:

Implementation in a school/kura setting

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa is a fund provided by Sport NZ for community organisations, including schools
and kura, to deliver physical activity opportunities for tamariki and rangatahi.
In schools and kura, these opportunities or projects might occur:


1. Outside of class time (breaks or before and after school)
2. In class time, where only the school personnel are involved
3. In class time where external providers or organisations may also be involved.

Applications for projects in the first two examples, just need to complete the application form in the same way it is completed in any other setting. Where the project occurs during class time, and involves external people, providers or organisations, there is an additional step in the application process. The reason for this is to ensure that Tū Manawa funding is not used to replace the role of the teacher or kaiako and/or curriculum teaching and learning, but instead, to enhance and support the learning aims which are identified by the school/kura.

 

External providers or organisations in a School / kura setting 

Where the project occurs during class time, and involves external people, providers or organisations, there is an additional step in the application process.

The reason for this is to ensure that Tū Manawa funding is not used to replace the role of the teacher or kaiako and/or curriculum teaching and learning, but instead, to enhance and support the learning aims which are identified by the school/kura.

Sport NZ acknowledges that teachers/kaiako are the best equipped and qualified to
• make decisions about the learning experiences that respond to the needs of their students in their local environments,
• plan and teach lessons that meet those needs,
• assess the learning. This extra step is an opportunity to maximise the potential of a collaboration and involves a discussion
between the school and provider about how they can work together to succeed in meeting what the school/kura is trying to achieve for their Ākonga.

These applications that are planned to be delivered during class time and involve external people, providers or organisations need to be applied for by the school/kura; or jointly by the school/kura and external provider or organisation.

Assessment Process 

Following is the assessment process for  Manawa Active Aotearoa applications: 

Fast Fund applications 

CLM Community Sport, Harbour Sport, Sport Auckland and Sport Waitākere each use a decision-making panel consisting of staff members, plus a member of the He Oranga Poutama team, to assess ALL fast fund applications against the national criteria. The He Oranga Poutama Kai Whakahaere also leads the assessment of any Kaupapa Maori assessments with the panel. 

Decisions are made within the following month from receipt of application. 

Regional and Local Fund applications 

Aktive, CLM Community Sport, Sport Auckland and Sport Waitākere each use an independent Advisory Group consisting of community members, including Mana Whenua, to assess all funding round applications against the national criteria. The Advisory Group make recommendations to the Trust Board, seeking approval. 

Decisions are made following Advisory Group meetings that are to be held within the following month after the round has closed.
