Community Impact & Identity /

Wests Tigers Community was established in 2016 to facilitate positive community engagement within the Inner West and Southwest regions of Sydney.  

Wests Tigers Foundation - which was formed in 2018 - plays a key role in supporting many community initiatives. The Foundation’s three pillars are community engagement, elite development, and heritage.

The goal of Wests Tigers Foundation is to contribute and sustain the influence of sport. It is combining the essence and empowerment of Rugby League, to ensure support is provided to athletes, youth and the community we serve.

Wests Tigers Foundation 

Wests Tigers Community continues to grow and flourish, delivering several award-winning community programs and engagements across Sydney and New South Wales.  

Wests Tigers mission statement is to ‘enrich the lives of the community’. By upholding club values of excellence, respect and teamwork, Wests Tigers strives to ensure that rugby league makes a positive and rewarding contribution to the community.

Key areas of focus for Wests Tigers Community include:

Health & Wellbeing: Facilitating non-traditional educational workshops and programs which truly impact the community, focusing on living healthy and sustainable lifestyles for children and adults.

Grassroots & Game Development: It’s where the dream begins! We continue to support and deliver several opportunities for our Junior League and school participants to engage with the Wests Tigers and strive towards living healthy and active lives.

Indigenous Engagement: Wests Tigers are committed to reconciliation and recognising the First Nations of Australia, whilst celebrating Indigenous culture and traditions.

Social Inclusion: Wests Tigers pride itself on using the game of Rugby League as a vehicle to inspire hope and positive change within the community.

Wests Tigers players and staff understand the unique position they are in. Every season our players contribute hundreds of hours towards community programs, fundraising initiatives, charity partnerships, and other enriching community experiences.

Rugby league is a tribal sport. This is no truer than at the Wests Tigers. Like all successful tribes, we honour our elders (past players and supporters), respect the community and environment in which we live, and we strive for success. My family and I love our tribe. That is why we are pleased to support the Wests Tigers Foundation.
