24.01.2022 Hi everyone, The COVID -19 pandemic and growing social distancing measures placed on society and community has had an enormous impact on everyone over the past few weeks. There have been considerable challenges faced by the sporting industry at large across the country effecting sport at the elite level all the way through to grass roots community sport.... Welcome Sports management have worked closely with the Welcome Sports Board, program staff and key volunteers to manage COVID -19 impacts on our organisation. The success we have experienced over the last 18 months has been a result of innovating, finding the 3rd way to do things and ensuring we provide quality, safe and enjoyable participation experiences for everyone. We will continue to do this when the time is right and safe to do so. Following a statement by FFA yesterday, the position of Football Queensland is to work towards the establishment of a sanctioned playing window alongside the format and delivery of competitions to commence in Queensland from July 2020. We will be following this advice and are currently preparing plans for our 2020 Junior Football Competition to re commence in July with adjusted finishing dates and formatting. We will be keeping our players, parents and community updated on these plans as they develop. Once again, thank you for the ongoing support and involvement in Welcome Sports programs. Please stay safe during this period. Miles Wilson Manager of Welcome Sports

19.01.2022 Last week Rafique Mohammed finished up as a trainee with Welcome Sports as part of Multicultural Australias Work and Welcome Program. Work & Welcome is a paid work experience program providing refugees and people seeking asylum the opportunity to gain local workplace experience. This is a great opportunity for our clients to put their existing skills and experience into action while gaining the crucial Australian workplace experience they need to move into work. Work & Wel...come brings just as much value to the host organisation, providing an enriching experience for everyone involved. Rafique made such a great contribution to our operations and will be staying on with Welcome Sports in a casual role to deliver a new Youth Leaders initiative. Well done Rafique!

13.01.2022 Welcoming newly arrived QLDs started at the club with the ESSC in the early 90s with Salvadorians creating community connection through sport and welcoming people from all different cultures and backgrounds since. Almost 20 years later it has inspired more players like Nooria (AFL) to Join in. Play on and Belong. This story was shared across the country last week and shows how Welcome Sports is leading this incredible work.... A great quote from our Chair Peter Forday following this story during the COCID -19 period. " What we do at Welcome Sports is not about ESSC or Multicultural Australia. It is not about Welcome Sports and it is not even about the sport. The current global crisis has amplified so much about what is important in our lives. This includes the importance of physical activity, health and well being, of being connected to our family, friends and community and of recognising that we do not all share the same access to support and opportunity ". Amazing to see our players and community profiled across a range of sports. Join in. Play on .Belong.
