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