What you’ll be able to do
The six skills we teach
Built around Skills England’s AI foundation skills for work, explained for clubs and charities.
Writing clear instructions for AI tools
Ask AI for what you actually need: a match report, a newsletter, a volunteer call-out.
Using AI tools to support routine processes and tasks
Take the weight off the jobs volunteers dread: minutes, fixture emails, AGM agendas.
Using simple software that automates work tasks
Join up free tools so forms, spreadsheets and confirmation emails run themselves.
Adjusting how an AI tool works to get better results
Set up an AI tool once so it knows your club or charity and stops giving generic answers.
Understanding the risks and consequences associated with AI use
Keep members’ and children’s data safe, spot made-up facts, and know when not to use AI.
Analysing information using AI tools
Make sense of a members’ survey or a budget, and check the answer before you rely on it.
