Bringing about moments of joy in sport & recreation for Kiwis with physical disabilities.
Find your play
Halberg Club is the heart of Halberg. It’s an imagined haven where young individuals with physical disabilities and their whanau find themselves at the centre of a vibrant and supportive community. Here they will find a sport or recreational activity that brings them joy, financial support, peers that will guide the way and a regional network of Parafeds!
