Waiora is now a Community Sports Bank drop-off location!

The Community Sports Bank is a Wellington-wide initiative championed by the Wellington City Mission, providing free sport/play gear, for everyone to be more active. It connects directly with communities where there is a need.
​
As a dropoff location, Waiora Sports Hub is at the gathering end of any good-quality used, and new sports gear... lost property is also welcomed. This gear is collected and distributed directly to communities where there is demand. 

 What gear is collected
Any good quality used and new sports gear is gratefully received (mouth guards excluded). Think...
  • Racquets
  • Boxing gear
  • Bats
  • Mitts
  • Balls
  • Generic sports clothes
  • Sports shoes
  • Skipping Ropes
  • Play Gear
Currently, there are 10 Sports Banks within the wider Wellington region, housed in recreation & community hubs, and on marae. 

The Community Sports Bank team at the Wellington City Mission, partners directly with councils, schools, marae, and community organisations to connect the gear to whānau and rangatahi who want to participate in sports and recreation but experience barriers to accessing it due to associated costs.  

If you have sports/play gear that needs a new home, our bin is ready to receive it. We thank you in advance for your donations and generosity.
