You Matter joins Carlton Football Club as Official Community Partner

We are excited to announce that You Matter has been named an Official Community Partner of the Carlton Football Club through its Carlton Respects initiative that will fund six Havens in 2025 – a $43,000 commitment that will directly support women and children impacted by family violence and highlight the importance of community-led support.

Through this partnership, You Matter will work alongside the CFC’s Carlton Respects initiative to amplify the message that safety, dignity, and hope are fundamental rights; and that, together, we can make a real difference for families facing the trauma of family violence.

You Matter’s CEO, Deborah de Rossi, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to creating safer, more supportive communities.

“We are thrilled to partner with Carlton and grateful for the platform this provides to bring greater visibility to the experiences of women and children impacted by family violence, and to the power of community connection and care in helping them rebuild their lives.”

We look forward to working with the Carlton Football Club and the Carlton Respects initiative in this next chapter and thank them for standing with us in our mission to support women, create change, and remind people that they matter.
