We work alongside sporting clubs and communities to build stronger connection, wellbeing and leadership, recognising the influential role sport plays in shaping values, behaviours and identity.

* Build and maintain strong relationships with Community Bank staff and Boards to support successful local partnerships
* Support Community Banks to engage meaningfully with sporting clubs and connect them with SALT programs
* Designing and embedding a clear, repeatable partnership model
* Developing practical systems, processes and resources to support delivery
* Help shorten the journey from initial conversations to delivery of SALT programs in clubs
* Track partnership activity and contribute to clear, practical reporting on progress and impact
* Championing the partnership through collaboration, storytelling and promotion
