The Flood Support Hub connects clubs impacted by Queensland’s major flood event with support from the wider football community.
Clubs are encouraged to use the Flood Support Hub to seek support from the community as they commence their clean-up and recovery efforts.
Put the call out for support from volunteers via FQ’s Community Noticeboard, create a GoFundMe page using the tips below or register as a volunteer to stay up-to-date with clubs requiring assistance.
Football Queensland will continue to monitor any relevant funding that becomes available and will update this page once further information is released.
Seek support from volunteers to help in your club’s clean-up by submitting a post via FQ’s Community Noticeboard.
Now is the time to pull together to support clubs with the assistance they require. Register as a volunteer to lend a hand to a club in need.
