Football Victoria Geelong was pleased to distribute first aid supplies and All Abilities equipment to local clubs this week, thanks to funding from Libby Coker MP and the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Grant Program.
The equipment was provided to club delegates during the recent Football Victoria Geelong Panel Meeting and will now be used across the region to support players, volunteers and match day operations for the region’s many All-Ability and other programs.
These resources will play an important role in helping clubs deliver safe, inclusive and well-equipped environments for their members. First aid supplies will assist in improving on-field safety and preparedness, while the All Abilities equipment will help clubs continue to grow opportunities for participants of all abilities to get involved in football.
Football Victoria Geelong acknowledges the support of the Federal Government in delivering this program and extends its thanks to Libby Coker MP for her assistance in helping secure this funding for local clubs.
Supporting Clubs and Community
Deputy Chair Robert Palmaricciotti said the funding would have a meaningful impact across the region.
“This support is incredibly valuable for our clubs and the volunteers who run them. Having access to the right equipment and first aid supplies not only improves safety at training and match days, but also helps create more inclusive environments where everyone in our community can take part and feel welcome.
It’s great to see this funding going directly into our clubs where it will make a real difference.”
Initiatives like this provide practical support to clubs and volunteers, ensuring they have the tools they need to create positive football experiences for players across all age groups and abilities.
Football Victoria Geelong looks forward to seeing the equipment in use across the region and encourages clubs to continue building inclusive, safe and welcoming environments for all participants.
