Action Measures and Outcomes

Develop guidance resources for applicants/consultants and beneficiaries

Improve consultant and applicant knowledge on EDI related topics and community engagement through guidance and support.

Applicants and beneficiaries have guidance and support, to increase and improve and continue community engagement.

Local Football Facilities Plans (LFFP) template reviewed

We commit to reviewing our LFFP template and other assets annually to ensure that the context provided is an accurate and full picture of each local authority and that EDI and community engagement considerations are embedded within the template.

Research our impact

If we can build greater understanding around which investments have had a positive impact on tackling inequalities and benefitting diverse communities, then we can start to improve and share our approach. Annual research is carried out to measure the impact of our investment. This will be reviewed to understand if the approach to community engagement is proportionate or needs refinement.

Develop formalised research with a University in collaboration with partners, to benefit and broaden our understanding of our impact.

EDI is further embedded into our project identification phase from the start of the process.

A widening of our understanding of the impact of facilities investment and programmes on users, i.e., behavioural change, health benefits, community cohesion. Through this work we hope to further support and challenge beneficiaries we have funded to ensure that when facilities are operational, they live up to their EDI commitments.
