SOCIAL IMPACT STRATEGY 2025 - 2027
We believe basketball is a powerful vehicle for social change. Basketball brings us together, uniting our diverse community around a love of the game. In uncertain times, it offers something to believe in, a sense of hope that, by dreaming big and working together, we can make a difference.
As a professional sporting club, basketball provides a platform through which we can contribute to a range of social development outcomes.
Our first Social Impact Strategy, Believe & Belong, provides a framework through which we aim to harness the power of basketball for the benefit of all Western Australians.

4.
GROWING THE GAME
Advocate for investment in basketball infrastructure and support inclusive pathways for basketball participation to ensure everyone can experience the joy of the game.
For Wildcats fans, Believe & Belong means more chances to connect with the team and each other, to be part of events that reflect the club’s values, and to know that supporting the Wildcats also means helping create positive change. It’s about making sure being part of the Red Army is as much about community as it is about competition.
