Last night I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the British Future ‘Shared Goals; the power of football to connect diverse communities’ report in Parliament to represent the network of 72 EFL Club Community Organisations (CCOs). The report evidences what many of us know already – that football has a unique power to bring us together. The report highlights that as our nation’s favourite spectator sport, football is one of the rare cultural institutions able to reach all parts of our society.  As a point of common ground across our differences, few other pastimes can connect us and spark conversations like ‘the beautiful game’. The report also outlines how football clubs are  vital institutions within the communities in which they are based. Providing shared spaces for local residents to meet and mix, they occupy an important role in the social infrastructure of our towns and cities. As sources of local civic pride, football clubs are also often viewed as being among the defining symbols of an area’s local heritage, capable of building powerful narratives about local identity. Combined, this marks football clubs out as having a distinct potential to help bridge many of our divides. Where clubs are able to welcome residents from diverse communities, a shared love of the local team can help connect fans across different backgrounds, creating moments of social contact. This report explores how football clubs, league bodies and policymakers can harness this potential to reach across and foster connection in communities. At the event Dominik Stingas Paczko and I were able to talk about the unique value that Club Community Organisations (the charitable arm of football clubs) add, offering solutions to wider societal challenges. As trusted organisations in towns and cities, football clubs and their CCOs offer an already successful vehicle for policymakers to address key challenges in communities.  You can read the report here:- https://lnkd.in/ezzPksQA It makes several key recommendations including that Levelling Up funds should be offered to football clubs to encourage campaigns and community-building activities that strengthen shared civic pride. David McArdle at the EFL helped provide advice and insight into the report. Huge congratulations to Huddersfield Town FC and Brentford FC who worked with British Future  to consult fans and local residents to design a campaign aimed at bringing local people from different ethnic, faith and social backgrounds together around a shared sense of pride in their team and their area. #BritishFuture #thepoweroffootball #football #community #EFL #inclusion EFL Trust EFL (English Football League)

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that the Youth Endowment Fund has commissioned our Education Children and Families (ECF) team at Ipsos UK to evaluate the "Inspiring Futures" intervention delivered by the Rugby Football League (RFL). This innovative mentoring scheme leverages the power of sports as a hook to engage young individuals over 12 weeks, helping them set and achieve meaningful goals. The intervention aims to enhance wellbeing, foster positive social relationships, and reduce antisocial behaviour and reoffending risks. Our evaluation will be conducted as an efficacy trial (cluster RCT) across more than 100 schools, complemented by an Implementation and Process Evaluation (IPE), ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the intervention's impact and delivery. At Ipsos UK, our ECF team is deeply committed to empowering children and families through evidence-based approaches. We believe that by supporting interventions like Inspiring Futures, we can contribute to positive, lasting change in our communities. Check the published protocol in the link below and stay tuned for updates on our progress. https://lnkd.in/evZDpha2 Stay tuned for updates on this impactful project!

🦁 My fellow Lions, Can we do more and better? Today, we are 1.4 million members in 47,000 clubs across 200 countries. Our impact on the world is undeniable, and our expertise is recognized by the biggest international institutions: UN, UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, Council of Europe... In 2023 alone, 1.2 billion dollars grants were paid out, including 65 million collected by LCIF alone. We can be proud to be Lions! But can we do as well tomorrow? For some years now, we've been struggling to increase and rejuvenate our membership, particularly in historical geographical areas such as the United States and Europe. That's why, if we want to continue the legacy bequeathed by Melvin Jones and his companions, and go beyond our goals of "Mission 1.5", we need to adapt our association to the evolutions of our times, and listen more closely to our Clubs. There are many questions we need to ask ourselves, but we have three years to address them. What is our association's carbon footprint? Aren't we in danger of being blamed for it one day? Do we really need to increase membership fees to achieve quantitative or qualitative objectives? What about electronic or proxy voting, which would enable all Clubs to express their views? Should Lionism be developed in partnership with companies? How can we change the Lions Club's image to reflect new modes of expression? How can we share our altruistic ethic in an increasingly fragmented world? The list is obviously far from exhaustive. As President of our fine association, I will work with you and the Lions General Assembly on this major modernization project. Let's not be afraid of change. We are Lion! I thank you and count on your support in Melbourne. #LionsClubsInternational #LionsClub #lionsinternational #WeServe #LCIFLions #melbourne2024 #gomesforvp https://lnkd.in/duepPnVk
