Community Champions

EMPOWERING LOCAL HEROES

Are you our next Community Champion?

CHAMPIONING WESTERN SYDNEY, TOGETHER

The Western Sydney Wanderers are proud to introduce Community Champions, an initiative dedicated to highlighting and supporting local community organisations and causes.

Through this program, we aim to foster community engagement and make a positive impact in the Western Sydney area.

Community Champions involves:

  • Recognition and Exposure: Featuring selected organisations and causes during Wanderers events and across our social media platforms.
  • Engagement Activities: Organising events and activities that allow the Wanderers community to participate and support these local groups.
  • Collaborations and Partnerships: Partnering with community organisations to create collaborative projects that benefit our local communities.
  • Fundraising and Support: Helping raise funds and provide resources to support the missions of these organisations.

Aspect Australia

Aspect’s Autism Friendly team, who works with organisations to create programs and spaces that consider the needs of Autistic individuals, partnered with Western Sydney Wanderers to help develop an autism-specific football clinic that caters to the specific requirements of Autistic children.

Together, we have developed a soccer clinic that will foster self-confidence, skill development and importantly, provide a sense of community. The coaches are experienced in working with Autistic children and the environment and program has been assessed to ensure it will deliver an engaging experience for children on the autism spectrum, and their families.

Foodbank

Foodbank NSW & ACT is the state and territory’s largest food relief organisation, providing much-needed food assistance to individuals and families through their network of community partners across NSW and the ACT.

Together with Foodbank NSW & ACT, the Wanderers are hoping to raise awareness of the incredible work that Foodbank NSW & ACT does as well as raise much needed funds for the organisation.

Recently, the Wanderers Isuzu UTE A-League and Liberty A-League teams came together to pack hampers for the festive period, volunteering for an afternoon at their headquarters in Glendenning. 

Sydney Catholic Schools

Together with Sydney Catholic Schools, the Wanderers will be running several grassroots programs and tournaments as well as courses to help increase student’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

This includes Team Building Programs for staff and senior-aged students which takes the learnings from football and combines it with a fun and interactive session focused on building strong relationships around trust, communication and problem solving.

The Wanderers will also be rolling out an After School Pre-Academy Development Program designed to advance the skills of football players across Western Sydney schools under the guidance of leading Wanderers Academy coaches.

The Benevolent Society – Carer Gateway

The Benevolent Society – Carer Gateway have announced a new partnership with the Western Sydney Wanderers to champion the vital role of carers in the Western Sydney and Greater Sydney communities and the free support available to them.

Over the next 12 months, Carer Gateway and the Western Sydney Wanderers will host family-friendly events to increase awareness of the free services and support available to carers. Carer Gateway is the Australian Government’s national carer hub and its services are free to access if you care for a family member or friend with disability, a medical condition, mental illness or who is frail due to age.

Local Grassroot Clubs

The Western Sydney Wanderers FC aim to celebrate the grassroot clubs within our nine Football Associations who are dedicated to improving their community through football participation.

Our associations have nominated a club within their association who has demonstrated perseverance, leadership, commitment and a community first mentality. Once nominated, we showcase the great work that these clubs are doing in their community. These clubs have a history and a story to share that we want to showcase.
