Sir Murray Halberg launched the Halberg Trust (originally called the Murray Halberg Trust for Crippled Children) in 1963 after attending a fundraising function in Toronto, Canada. While the Trust’s name has changed, it remains committed to recognising sporting excellence through the Westpac Halberg Awards along with assisting young people with a disability to participate in sport and active leisure. The Sport Opportunity Programme is delivered through the Regional Sports Trust all over New Zealand. Given the opportunity people with a disability will thrive within an all inclusive environment.
