| Best Club Initiated Program
| Scoresby Magpies Junior Football Club
Scoresby Magpies Junior Football Club have partnered with Anchor Foster Care to enable a program which supports children living in all forms of ‘out of home care’ placements to play football for free (registration and uniform fees covered by sponsorship and fundraising programs through the club).
The program, which is open to all boys and girls aged 5 – 17 of all abilities, aims to address the negative stereotypes and perceptions associated with being in foster care or being adopted. The programs’ goal is to support children and develop their self-esteem and self-worth by being involved in an inclusive environment.
