The Williamstown Football Club are continued supporters of the Les Twentyman Foundation, who provide fantastic support for ‘at-risk’ youth in the western suburbs of Melbourne. We have supported them with many fundraising initiatives including barbecues, match day events, player driven auctions, sportspersons lunches and general donations in the way of financial and clothing. This has helped fund an extra youth support worker in the western suburbs for the Foundation.

Indigenous round
Williamstown Football Club proudly supports Indigenous Round. In 2025, the Club came together to honour the round through a Smoking Ceremony before the game and a gift exchange with the VFLW team, celebrating culture, respect and connection.
The Seagulls donated and helped raise funds for the Helping Hand Cafe, a local volunteer-run charity who assists vulnerable members of the community doing it tough. Along with Williamstown MP and #1 Seagulls ticket holder, Wade Noonan, players, coaches and staff took part in a charity soccer match against students from Bayside College in Altona North to help the charity organisation in their busiest period just before Christmas.
FUELLING THE FUTURE
The Williamstown Football Club proudly supports Fuelling The Future (FTF), a youth-led initiative founded by Speccie members Lex (14) and Ted (16) to address food insecurity among school children. Backed by WFC and community partner Mobil, the pilot program delivered 160 dietitian-approved snack packs to two local primary schools, improving students’ energy, concentration and engagement. Following strong results, FTF expanded in 2025, delivering 2,000 snack packs across Hobsons Bay schools.
In 2018 Williamstown Football Club held its first ever Pride Game in May to help raise awareness and promote inclusiveness in the Hobsons Bay and wider communities. Williamstown raised much needed funds for the Pride Cup Foundation. The club also wore a special jumper on the day which has now become an annual event for our VFL and VFLW programs.
