Providing sporting opportunities for all.

 

Our commitment to grassroots sporting clubs remains strong. We understand the profound impact participation in sport has on individuals and communities. By providing funds for equipment, uniforms, and facility upgrades, we help sports clubs keep participation costs low.

Our women’s team has gone from struggling to get a team up each week in 2023 to being the backbone of our football club in 2024. With the help of Community Bank Inner East, we were able to provide a point of difference this year with our pre-season camp. This helped our playing group form an unbreakable bond a strong connection to our community. We have been able to create a fun, safe and inclusive environment which we hope to continue to build in 2025. The Canterbury Football Club is incredibly grateful for the opportunities the funds from Community Bank Inner East have provided our club. Canterbury Football Club
