The QCCS Mackay Cutters are proud to announce Stanmore Resources Limited (‘Stanmore’) as the official Cutters Care Delivery Partner for the next 12 months, supporting the club’s commitment to delivering meaningful education, wellbeing and community engagement programs throughout the Mackay and Isaac regions.
As Cutters Care Delivery Partner, Stanmore will support the delivery of regular school visits throughout the Isaac region, providing young people with access to wellbeing, leadership and educational programs designed to create positive outcomes both in and beyond the classroom. Stanmore and the Mackay Cutters will work collaboratively to utilise the power of sport to educate, inspire and connect with young people across the region, reinforcing the club’s commitment to creating impact beyond the football field.
The partnership will enable the Mackay Cutters to expand the reach of the program across regional communities including Moranbah, Nebo, Coppabella, Valkyrie and surrounding areas.
Mackay Cutters Chief Executive Officer, Dave Roberts, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to investing in regional communities and supporting the next generation.
“The Cutters Care program is about using the profile and influence of our club to create positive change in the communities we represent. Through education, wellbeing and engagement initiatives, we have the opportunity to connect with young people and deliver messages that can have a lasting impact.”
“We are excited to welcome Stanmore as our Cutters Care Delivery Partner. Their commitment to regional Queensland and supporting local communities aligns strongly with our values and vision of Developing Pathways, Growing Communities.”
Stanmore’s Chief Executive Officer, Marcelo Matos, says Stanmore is focused on working with high-value organisations who concentrate on regional education, training and development, especially targeted at younger generations.
“This partnership is the first of its kind for Stanmore. We see tremendous value in partnering with such a positively influential club that provides support to the regions where our operations reside.
“Cutters Care will enable the schools in our region the opportunity to connect with key mentors within the Rugby League community, who use their platform for not only Rugby League skill development but also to discuss important topics such as mental wellbeing and healthy conversations around drugs and alcohol.”
“We are very excited to watch the partnership unfold and are proud to partner with this great club.”
The Mackay Cutters will deliver Cutters Care sessions at schools focused on leadership, resilience, healthy lifestyles, respectful relationships, goal setting and positive decision-making, helping young people develop the skills and confidence to succeed both on and off the field. The partnership will commence immediately, with school engagement activities scheduled throughout the year.
