Leading Football Club Community Programmes Switch to Abler to Power Service, Data and Strategy
Some of the UK’s most high-profile football club charities including the Chelsea Foundation, Newcastle United Foundation, Sunderland’s Foundation of Light, and the Norwich City Foundation have moved their operations to Abler, the all-in-one platform that is transforming community sport delivery.
From the Premier League to the Championship and National League, football charities are increasingly choosing Abler to unify bookings, communication, payments, and reporting. The result: better customer service, real time registers, advanced data capture and live reporting that allows strategic decision-making and unlocks potential sponsor and funder support.
Why Foundations Are Switching
Better Customer Service
Modern booking systems with instant confirmations, reminders and in-app updates all create a smoother experience for participants and families.
Advanced Staff Management
Centralising scheduling, communication, and attendance tracking. Abler allows staff to RSVP to events with a single tap, receive real-time updates via in-app messaging and push notifications, and enables administrators to monitor attendance in real time.
High-Level Data Capture
Every attendance record, payment, safeguarding note, and outcome is securely stored in one place replacing fragmented spreadsheets.
Unparalleled Reporting
Real-time dashboards track reach, engagement and outcomes, helping charities target underserved communities, optimise delivery, and evidence impact to sponsors and funders.
Club Success Stories
- Chelsea Foundation has rolled Abler out across social inclusion, education, and sports activities, enabling a unified customer journey and consistent data for all programmes.
- Newcastle United Foundation uses Abler to streamline its vast programme portfolio and gain clearer insight into the difference they are making across the North East.
- Sunderland’s Foundation of Light has adopted Abler for bookings, communications and payments linking participant journeys from registration to reporting outcomes.
- Norwich City Foundation operates its programmes through Abler, streamlining customer service and data collection while enabling clear, evidence-based reporting to partners and funders.
Driving Strategic Impact
By moving to Abler, football charities are replacing admin-heavy processes with a single, scalable system. This allows staff to focus on delivering programmes while management gains a clear, evidence-backed view of impact, a vital advantage when securing partnerships and funding in a competitive environment.
