On Wednesday 7 October, Community Sport Solutions will be represented by Gaël Agneray at the Making Football Matter conference at De Kuip in Rotterdam, organised by the Feyenoord Foundation.
The conference brings together organisations from across football and community sport to share experiences, explore new approaches and discuss how the game can create greater social impact.
For Community Sport Solutions, events like this are an important opportunity to listen and learn directly from the foundations and organisations delivering this work every day. Gaël will reconnect with Ton and Ruben from the Feyenoord Foundation, while also hearing from leading organisations including Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool FC Foundation.
Understanding the challenges facing foundations
Community sport foundations are operating in an increasingly complex environment. They are expected to deliver meaningful programmes, engage participants, demonstrate measurable impact, report to funders and partners, and make increasingly data-driven decisions, often while working with multiple systems and large volumes of information.
Understanding these challenges is central to what we do at CSS.
We believe technology should support the work of foundations rather than create another layer of complexity. That is why the CSS Suite brings programme data, participant information, surveys, targets, reporting and impact measurement together in one place.
By creating a central source of truth, foundations can gain clearer insight into what is happening across their programmes, track progress against their targets and demonstrate their impact more effectively.
Listening first
Our presence at Making Football Matter is not simply about presenting technology. It is about having conversations with the people working within community sport, understanding where the biggest challenges lie and learning what organisations need to become more effective.
The best solutions start with listening.
We look forward to connecting with foundations, clubs and organisations from across the sector in Rotterdam and exploring how data and technology can help them do more, demonstrate more and create greater impact.
