The results documented in the 2022 Community Impact Report are truly inspiring, providing a snapshot of the powerful impact Wests Tigers has on the broader community.

- $260,116 in donations
- 9,411 registered junior players
- 152,000 people in our community
- Engaged 102 schools
- 75,000km travelled delivering community programs
Our goal as a club is not just to win games of football, but also to make a lasting difference in people’s lives across the Inner West and Southwest of Sydney.
Clearly our work stretches well beyond our local community, impacting thousands of people in regional NSW as well.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe says the club should be proud of the community team’s achievements.
“This report demonstrates what a positive influence this great club has on our community, as we continue to focus on enriching the lives of our community,” he said.
“All the work we do, cannot happen without your continued support and passion.
This report is something we should all be very proud of.

Some of the programs documented in the 2022 Community Impact Report include the annual Christmas Toy Drive, the virtual Community Schools’ Blitz, the Unite Harmony Program, the AED regional road trip delivering 86 life-saving defibrillators, and our popular Autism Friendly Room at home games.
Community Manager, Keehan Diamond says the players have been instrumental in much of the good work achieved over the past 12 months.
“It’s a rewarding part of the job for our players and they readily commit to our programs in schools and in the community,” said Diamond.
They are the face of the club and they are very proud to represent what we stand for.
