Foundation of Light Partners with Abler to Transform Sports Operations and Data Management
Abler's Sports Management System for Foundation of Light
Sunderland AFC’s official charity, Foundation of Light, has announced a landmark partnership with Abler, a leading provider of cutting-edge sports management technology. The collaboration will see the implementation of Abler’s innovative sports management system across the Foundation’s operations, a move set to transform how the charity delivers, monitors, and evaluates its wide-ranging programmes.
The new system will streamline operations, enhance communication across departments, and significantly improve the way the Foundation collects, analyses, and utilises data. With over 20 years of community impact through education, sport, health and employability programmes, the Foundation of Light is now taking a major leap forward in its digital transformation.
"The platform will offer a much better user experience for our customers when booking on our programmes and it will also improve how we plan, track and report on our sessions and outcomes. Freeing up valuable time for our team and enabling us to focus even more on changing lives across the North East."
Streamlining Operations and Enhancing Data Analysis
Abler’s system will provide real-time data collection and reporting capabilities, giving the Foundation better insights into programme performance, participant engagement, and long-term impact.
