Bedford and Football South Australia (Football SA) are delighted to announce their partnership has been extended for an additional two years.
Joining forces in 2019, Football SA and Bedford have worked closely over the previous years to produce an inclusive community where people of all abilities can experience and explore their love of football through different programs, tournaments, and events.
Football SA CEO, Michael Carter is delighted with the extension of the partnership.
“The Bedford Community League and Phoenix Cup continues to grow and is a key component of our inclusion offering. The partnership allows us to engage our clubs to provide participants with a clear link to the football community.”
Football SA and Bedford both share similar visions where we strive as a collective to contribute to an environment where every person with disability is empowered to achieve their life goals.
Bedford is currently the largest employer for people with disability in South Australia, providing a holistic range of NDIS services for 1300 clients across 18 sites throughout the state.
Bedford Executive Manager People, Communications, Strategy & Quality, Tim Wilson is extremely pleased to see the continuation of the partnership between the two organisations.
“Bedford exists to support people with disability to live the life they choose and ensuring that people with disabilities have sporting opportunities is at the heart of our purpose. We are proud to continue our support of the Bedford Community League so that people with a disability get to enjoy the ‘beautiful game’ of football. It is fantastic to have the Community league matches played at the wonderful facilities at ServiceFM Stadium the new home of Football SA.”
Bedford and Football SA look forward to a solid and rewarding partnership over the next two years.
