FA UPSHOT TOOL – the Charity launched an initiative for all affiliated member clubs to use the FA’s Upshot tool for recording physical activity participation. As each partner club used the tool to capture their activities, the Charity would be able to provide consolidated reports detailing the impact our network is having within the UK, by region or a particular geographical area. This information would be able to assist us with future funding applications and clubs were trained in how to use this tool.
