Abler has partnered with Shrewsbury Town Foundation, the official charity of Shrewsbury Town Football Club, to support the delivery and management of their community programmes across Shropshire.
The Foundation delivers a wide range of programmes including holiday clubs, disability football, youth activities, education programmes, employability support and health and wellbeing initiatives. Supporting people of all ages, the charity helps individuals to develop skills, improve wellbeing and access new opportunities within their communities.
Shrewsbury Town Foundation is committed to bringing people together through football, community and opportunity, creating safe and inclusive spaces where everyone has a safe place, a voice and an opportunity to thrive.
Supporting More Efficient Programme Delivery
The Foundation will implement Abler’s platform to bring together the data and operational management of their diverse programme portfolio. Key areas of support include:
- Centralised participant management: A single system for registrations, attendance, and participant records across all programme areas, replacing fragmented tools and manual processes.
- Funder reporting: Streamlined reporting across projects and funding streams, reducing the administrative overhead of evidencing outcomes to multiple funders.
- Scheduling and venue coordination: Improved visibility across sessions and venues, supporting the Foundation’s staff to coordinate delivery more efficiently.
- Payments and bookings: An integrated booking and payment flow for participants and families, consistent across the Foundation’s programmes.
“Abler gives us the operational infrastructure to manage our programmes more effectively and demonstrate our impact clearly across all the work we do in Shropshire. We’re looking forward to the partnership.” — Erin Hicken, Head of Operations, Shrewsbury Town Foundation.
Shrewsbury Town Foundation joins a growing number of EFL club foundations and community trusts using Abler to manage their operations.
