We're proud to welcome Stoke City Foundation to the Abler community 🤝
As the official charity of Stoke City Football Club, the Foundation works across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire to get people active, support mental wellbeing and build community through football. They deliver across five workstreams, from community engagement and education to football development and workforce development, and are currently developing a new community facility for the city.
Stoke City Foundation will use Abler to manage registrations and bookings, give coaches app-based access to registers and participant info, run payments and subscriptions through their own branded shop, and coordinate venues, sessions and staff across delivery sites, all from one system.
Laura Nicholls, the Foundation's Director of Community Engagement, put it well:
"The less time our team spends on administration, the more time they can dedicate to supporting participants and delivering meaningful programmes. Abler helps us manage the operational side of our work, enabling our skilled delivery staff to focus on people, strengthen the support we provide, and maximise our impact in the communities that need it most."
Stoke City Foundation joins over 50% of EFL club foundations and community trusts now running their operations on Abler.
