Community Strong
TOGETHER, WE ARE COMMUNITY STRONG
At Wests Illawarra, we believe that the strength of a community is measured by how we support one another. That’s why we created Community Strong – a movement dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in the Illawarra.
Through funding, in-kind support, and volunteering, we proudly stand beside local charities, community groups, and sporting clubs to foster a more connected and supported region. That’s because we believe that a strong community is built on connection, compassion, and support.
At Wests Illawarra, we don’t just support the community – we are part of it.
community strong: our impact
Our commitment to the community is reflected in the investment we choose to make. Through financial assistance, in-kind support, and active volunteering, we have formed meaningful partnerships that address critical community needs, from crisis intervention and healthcare accessibility to supporting smaller community groups who reply entirely on support from organisations like ours.
who we support & community feedback
Our Community Strong initiative proudly partners with local charities and community groups making a difference and playing a vital role in our community. We are honoured to support their incredible work.

junior sports
Wests Illawarra knows that every big sporting dream starts small – often with a junior jersey, a local pool or muddy field, and a whole lot of community spirit. That’s why we invest in grassroots sport across the Illawarra, making sure every child who wants to play has the chance to not only participate but thrive.
