Giants Care launched
by Shane Skeen
The GWS Giants continue their
great work off the field, launching a
ma jor initiative that will see the club
double its community outcomes and
further enrich the lives of people
across Western Sydney.
Giants Care is an innovative and
meaningful community initiative like
no other program run by a sporting
club in Australia.
Now in their fourth year in the
AFL, the Giants have quickly become
a leader in the community delivering
first class programs to those that
need them the most.
Giants’ players commit 4200
hours to the community every year
and the club is dedicated to helping
deliver a wide range of programs
that will make a significant impact on
those involved.
Giants Care will provide the
vehicle to help deliver on the four
key pillars of the club’s community
agenda: Health, Harmony, Education
and Employment.
This initiative will cover key areas
including social cohesion, numeracy,
literacy, health, environment,
science, nutrition, youth
employment and leadership.
Giants Care programs will focus
on people from low socio-economic
backgrounds and disadvantaged
communities across Western
Sydney.
More than 12,000 people were
engaged in Giants community
programs in 2014 and thanks to
Giants Care, this figure will double
to 24,000 over the next three years.
Some of Australia’s most
respected organisations with a likeminded vision for Western Sydney
have joined together to make Giants
Care possible.
These partners have made a
three year commitment to Giants
Care to help double the club’s
community engagement outcomes
which will impact positively on
current and future generations.
“We are proud to be partnering
with the Giants on such an important
community initiative. Giants Care will
make a meaningful difference to the
communities of Western Sydney and
we look forward to being involved in
a variety of
