2020 Parafed Auckland Junior Programme- First Quarter
WHY
We believe every child/youth with a disability should have the opportunity to try new things and to take part in regular sporting and recreational opportunities.
We want to provide a gateway for young people to try new sporting and recreational opportunities that they may have otherwise not had the opportunity to do so, with the hope that they go on to participate regularly in activities of their choice.
