The Sir Richard Hadlee Sports Trust is a non-profit charitable trust established by Sir Richard Hadlee in August 1990, immediately after his retirement from a professional cricketing career.
The trust plays an important role in the community by assisting young Cantabrians where hardship prevents them from fulfilling their cultural or sporting endeavours.

The primary focus of the Sir Richard Hadlee Sports Trust is to ensure that young Cantabrians are given the opportunity to fulfill their cultural and sporting goals. Information regarding sponsorship or funding is available here.
The Annual Marriotts Hadlee Sports Awards
In 2012, The Sir Richard Hadlee Sports Trust partnered with Sport Canterbury to celebrate Canterbury's finest sporting achievements, and together they have teamed up to create a unique annual event which gives Canterbury's sporting community, and the public, a chance to celebrate sporting excellence — from grass roots to elite levels.
The annual Marriotts Hadlee Sports Awards are a fantastic celebration of Canterbury's sporting achievements, and the most recent events have been held at the magnificent Wigram Air Force Museum, Christchurch. The event attracts around 700 guests, and tickets are always available from Sport Canterbury on (03) 373-5043 or your own Regional Sports Organisation.
Events are announced, well in advance, across all available media.
