We’re partnering with Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club
Afford and WSW FC are joining forces to offer an amazing new football adventure. Part of Explore – our new one-to-one in-community program, this partnership will see our clients engaging in a tailored, inclusive soccer program at the official home of the Western Sydney Wanderers, in Rooty Hill, Sydney.
Under the guidance of the club’s expert community coaches, those who join up will be supported in developing individualised health, fitness and wellbeing goals, while learning soccer skills on the same fields as their WSW FC heroes.
They’ll also brush up on their team skills and get to socialise with fellow soccer lovers. And there’s an opportunity to cheer on the Wanderers at an A-League home game at CommBank Stadium (excludes Sydney Derby).
Our Explore clients will train on the very same field as the WSW FC legends.
We’re so excited
Afford CEO Jo Toohey certainly thinks so.
“We’re thrilled to team up with the Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club, a club that’s always been about breaking down barriers, celebrating diversity and ensuring all football lovers get the opportunity to be a part of the action,” said Ms Toohey.
Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club Scott Hudson CEO agreed.
“The Wanderers are passionate about giving back to our community, and this partnership with the Afford Foundation is a natural fit. Together, we can create positive, lasting experiences for people with disability and their families,” he said.
With more than 70 years’ experience, Afford continues to be a leader in the disability sector. This exciting partnership is another example of how we’re creating inclusive opportunities and community spirit.
Our WSW FC partnership makes up part of our Explore program.
