📊 Impact Reporting Information

When you create an activity, we will collect some information to help us with our impact reporting. This information allows SportFin's impact analytics model to understand activity characteristics and correlate them to social impact outcomes.

  • Purpose (required): Select 'Development of Sport' in Purpose if you are delivering this activity purely to promote participation in sport/physical activity. Select 'Development through Sport' if you are delivering this activity as part of a targeted programme to generate social outcomes through sport/physical activity.

  • Participation Type (required): Select 'Individual' in Type if you can participate in the activity as an individual. Select 'Team' if you can only participate in this activity as a team. If your participation type is individual, but is delivered as part of group activities, select 'Team'.

  • Activity Type: Select the sport/physical activity that most closely matches the type of activity you will be delivering. This section helps us understand the amount of energy spent by participants in this activity (along with accounting for duration and other individual characteristics).

💷 Pricing Information

In this section, you can set pricing information for your activity. You can skip this section if you wish to set the activity as a free to register activity or if your are creating an activity for data collection.

  • Price: Set the price for this activity for one individual. This is the price that members will pay when they book onto your activity. If you create a recurring activity or an activity with multiple dates, your participants will get the option to block book to multiple dates.

If you set the activity price at £5.00 and the activity has 5 dates, participants can book into all 5 dates for £25.00.

Parents can also collect bookings for all their children, either for a single date or multiple dates.
