Community Engagement

East Doncaster Netball Club

The Foster Ramsay Community Support Program has forged a strong partnership with East Doncaster Netball Club (EDNC), a well-established club in the Templestowe region that participates in the Manningham Netball Competition.

EDNC is committed to providing a comprehensive netball program for players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, while maintaining a fun and healthy competitive environment.

2024 Community Grant

In 2024, Foster Ramsay’s support for EDNC reached new heights. The program made a substantial financial donation, which enabled the club to provide subsidised training uniforms to all players, resulting in savings of approximately $65 per player. This initiative not only ensured that players had dedicated attire for training sessions but also helped keep their match-day uniforms in pristine condition.

Wear Pink Sports Day & BCNA Fundraiser

Foster Ramsay’s involvement extended beyond financial assistance.

Volunteers from the program actively participated in EDNC’s Wear Pink Sports Day, a fundraising event for Breast Cancer Australia, by managing the BBQ and handling food orders and payments.

Club Presentation event support 

Additionally, the program contributed an array of appealing door prizes for EDNC’s annual presentation night, including spa and movie vouchers and premium local products from a variety of Yarra Valley wineries. This comprehensive support demonstrates Foster Ramsay’s commitment to fostering community spirit and enhancing the sporting experience for EDNC members.

MANTalk 

MANtalk is a groundbreaking initiative in the mortgage broking industry that addresses men’s mental health and suicide prevention. The group was formed in response to a tragic series of suicides within the broker community, with four members lost in just six weeks in 2023.

 

Origins and Purpose

Foster Ramsay Finance, along with other industry leaders and lenders, proudly support the MANtalk Wellness industry group.

The group was created to provide a safe space for men in the mortgage industry to share their experiences with mental health challenges and suicide prevention.

MANtalk represents a crucial step in addressing the mental health challenges faced by men in the mortgage broking industry. By creating a platform for open dialogue and support, it aims to prevent future tragedies and promote overall well-being within the community.
