Thomas Brindle (The Rugby Football League) about – The importance of impact measurement in community programmes

Thomas Brindle, Head of Development at The Rugby Football League, is the next confirmed speaker at our 17th EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference in Liverpool on 9 & 11 May 2022.

”I’ve played Rugby League since I was 6 and have been in sport administration for last 16 years, I am a keen believer in tackling inequalities. In recent years, I’ve led on the Betfred Women’s Super League, Learning Disability and Physical disability Rugby League competitions. Sport is still an underrepresented lifestyle choice across the most deprived areas and I am passionate about addressing that in the community we sevre.”

[…] In 2016 we started with the hypothetical questions “what would the impact be on the community if you remove Rugby League from Wigan, would it be the same as removing York Cathedral” this led us on a journey of discovery of understanding the importance of measurement around social impact and using the evidence base to make meaningful change.”
