Whiti Ora Tairāwhiti works to expand horizons for an active, healthy, connected Te Tairāwhiti – Ka topa te manu ki te rangi.
We’re a non-profit organisation that delivers and supports sport, play, active recreation, health and lifestyle programmes throughout the region, from Potaka on the East Coast, down through Gisborne to the Gisborne-side of Mahia. Whiti Ora is part of a network of 17 Regional Sports Trusts nationwide. We are governed by a Board of Trustees; with a Chief Executive managing our team of staff.
Our aim is to create opportunities for physical activity and good health so that more people have lifelong participation in sport and physical activity to live active, healthy, and connected lives.
We work with the community for the community. We connect people.
