Our thoughts go out to everyone across the Central Highlands region who has been impacted by flooding. The images we see both from individuals and sporting clubs are devastating, but seeing strangers come together to help their community is heartwarming.
We encourage you to reach out to your club members to check on their wellbeing. We know that for many people, sporting clubs are a major source of physical, mental and social wellbeing, so for some, knowing their club is thinking of them may be a big help.
We understand that many of you will still be dealing with your own personal circumstances, however when the time is right to return to your club, Sports Central and Regional Sport Victoria are here to help.
Regional Sport Victoria has developed a website resource to keep sporting clubs up to date with relevant information, including grants. As further information comes to light, this page will be updated accordingly. Visit the Community Sport Flood Recovery page.
Sports Central, in partnership with Golden Plains Shire Council and Moorabool Shire Council, is delivering a free Club Development Workshop Series designed to strengthen community sporting clubs across the region. This series provides practical, hands-on learning opportunities for committee members, volunteers, coaches and emerging leaders, with a focus on leadership, governance, inclusion and sustainable club development.
Set The Standard is a VicHealth initiative supporting club leaders across Victoria with practical tools to prevent and reduce racism and promote more welcoming environments. To grow the campaign across Victoria, Set The Standard is running a limited-time mailing list promotion from 18 May to 14 June.
