SportHub Community Trust Auckland - About Us

About

SportHub Community Trust is a community-focused charitable trust that uses sport and physical activity as tools for social connection, cultural inclusion, and positive change.

Our mission is to build a multicultural and inclusive environment by engaging tamariki, rangatahi, women, seniors, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. We believe that sport and culture provide stability, purpose, and belonging—particularly for those facing economic, social, or cultural barriers.

Our Vision

A healthier, more connected community for all through the hub of sport.

Our Culture 

Our culture is built on diversity, inclusion, and connection. We believe in the power of sport and culture to bring people together, break down barriers, and create a place where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Our centre plays a crucial role in supporting migrant and ethnic communities, children, and young people, particularly those from challenged and high-deprivation backgrounds.
