​​​​​​​About the fund:

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa - brought to you by Active Southland. 

We have supported over 85 local organisations and distributed $405,000 to get more tamariki and rangatahi active in Southland. The key philosophies of using insights, physical literacy and being locally led are supporting young people to be active in a way they want to be. 

Applications open for 2022/2023 funding rounds. 

We are receiving applications that take innovative approaches to engaging our priority groups in quality play, active recreation and sport experiences in ways that meet their needs.
