Community Achievements

Nearly eight people in Australia take their own lives every day six of whom are men. For every pair of blue leather safety boots sold, Steel Blue donate $10 to Beyond Blue to support better mental health. So far, we have donated over $400,000 to Beyond Blue and look forward to continuing to build on this.

Since 2007, Steel Blue has donated $10 per pair of our pink and purple boots purchased and, so far, has raised over $1,800,000 for Australian charity, Breast Cancer Care WA. This money is helping Breast Cancer Care WA create education initiatives aimed at increasing awareness and to enable early detection of breast cancer. Mirroring our partnership with Breast Cancer Care WA, we have partnered with New Zealand charity, Sweet Louise who provide practical, emotional and social support to those diagnosed with incurable breast cancer. Ten dollars from every pair of pink Southern Cross Zip^® Ladies safety boots sold in New Zealand is donated to Sweet Louise.

In 2020 Steel Blue donated over $50,000 to the bushfire recovery services in Australia, as well as a number of boots to assist those with the recovery.

The club’s core purpose is more than just football; it’s to build the community and improve people’s lives. The Swan Districts Football Club runs many community programs to connect and engage with marginalised people and communities, including youth at risk, seniors, people with disabilities, Aboriginal and multicultural people.
