What you should know about Halberg Disability Sport Foundation
Murray Halberg attends a Sports Journalists function in Toronto, Canada, to help raise funds for disabled children. Inspired by the cause, Murray returns to New Zealand and rallies support to establish the Murray Halberg Trust for Crippled Children’. The Trust is for the benefit, education, advancement in life, or personal support in any way whatever, of children with physical disabilities’. This event now has the dual purpose of honouring sporting excellence and raising funds for Murray’s newly established charity.
The house is made into a fully accessible holiday home which can be rented out by disabled children and their families. The Sportsman of the Year Awards becomes The Halberg Awards,’ which continues to raise funds for the Trust. Throughout the eighties, many young people began to seek the same opportunities in sport as they were receiving in education. The Trust grants funding to the Mt Roskill Grammar Disability Unit for the purchase of adapted vehicles and specialised touch and wand computers.
The philosophy of inclusion gains momentum in all sectors, and young people begin seeking inclusive opportunities to play sport. The Trust rewrites its original Trust Deed, removing the word physical to better represent the children who are benefitting from its work. The Halberg Trust takes a professional leap by employing its first CEO, and is instrumental in bringing a number of disability sports groups together. Halberg Sports spreads to more than 40 venues across the country and delivers sport opportunities to more than 1300 children annually.
The Hillary Commission works with the Halberg Trust to create a sporting environment in which disabled people have equal opportunities to participate, enjoy and excel in the sport of their choice. A Sport Opportunity Officer SOO begins working at the Bay of Plenty Regional Sports Trust to implement inclusive community sport programmes for disabled people. The success of the Sport Opportunity Officer pilot programme in the Bay of Plenty leads to the conclusion that the inclusive delivery of disability sport in New Zealand is the preferred approach. SPARC Sport and Recreation New Zealand is established by the Government and immediately acknowledges the importance of disability sport in New Zealand.
The Halberg Trust plays a lead role in distributing SPARC funding to National Sport Organisations to develop inclusive programmes for disabled people.
