The Rural Travel Fund is made up of funding from Sport New Zealand, which is designed to help subsidise travel for rural junior teams aged between 5-18 years by removing the barrier of travel costs so participants can compete in regular sporting competitions.
Schools, clubs or other sporting or active recreation organisations can apply for this funding. Funding is specifically to subsidise travel to and from sporting competitions/practices or recreational/play activities within the Far North District or within the Northland area if this is the only competition available for children/rangitahi (between ages 5 - 19 years) with the aim of increasing the number of children participating in sporting competitions/training or active recreation/play opportunities.
All applications are considered by the Far North District Council Community Boards based on advice provided from Sport Northland Representatives.
Tū Manawa – Active Aotearoa funding is now administered separately by Sport Northland – you can find more information on their website at https://www.sportnorthland.co.nz/whakatinana-hakinakina-l-helping-sport-happen/t-manawa-active-aotearoa-fund
