SPOTLIGHT ONSport

Wests strongly believes in the role that sport plays in the health and wellbeing of the community. So much so, one of our core objectives is to support the promotion and propagation of sports in the local area through the sponsorship of, and donations to, local sporting teams, athletes and sporting clubs. This is what we got up to last year.

The Wests Sports Council is an integral part of Wests Group Macarthur’s commitment to sport in the region and aims to create simple pathways for community access to affordable and well-administered sporting opportunities via a network of sporting clubs and associations.

The Wests Sports Council provides 29 sporting clubs and associations from the local area with a range of ways to recognise individual and teams’ achievements, commitment, and contribution to local sport including various awards programs.

The Wests Sports Council Annual Sports Awards is one of the great ways Wests helps to recognise local sport participants for their outstanding contributions to grassroots sport, sporting accomplishments and sporting spirit. Despite a disruptive year for grassroots sport, Wests Sports Council selected winners from hundreds of monthly nominations featuring stories of great skill, achievement, and sportsmanship. Check out our amazing winners and runners up from 2022.
