Liverpool Culture Event

Name of the event: Back to the roots.

Location: Bill Shankly Playing Fields, West Derby

Organiser: Sean Creevy partnered with Circus events.

Date: Saturday 12^th May 2021.

Time: 12pm to 6pm

Brief Introduction:

This event is going to be a trial day for grass roots football and a presentation of awards at the end. This event will be based on the amateur football league of Liverpool that will trial out footballers who want to get into a grass roots team and also grass roots footballers who want to go further.

Purpose

This events purpose is to hopefully promote our local teams and support the cities grassroots football. We have personally invited potential sponsors so that they can invest their time and money into the different clubs and this event will prove that these sponsors if they wish to sponsor the teams they haven’t wasted their time. Furthermore, it will help those children who don’t have a football team but do want one to be able to get involved and hopefully get themselves in a team. In addition to this, we have invited numerous scouts for different professional clubs to the event and this will give the players a chance to express themselves and maybe get something from football.

In the event

There will be many ex-footballers attending the event. For example: Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and many more. To this event all people are welcome, and invitations will be given out to all of the grass roots football teams whereby the whole team is allowed to attend or they can nominate representatives. This event will hopefully bridge the gap between the different communities in Liverpool as football is the most popular sport and everyone can come together and have a good day out. The age groups will be u16s.

LO3 Feedback report

As a part of my pitch and proposal, one of my assignments was to gather feedback through a questionnaire and collate the results. So, what I did for this was created my own survey on the website surveymonkey, on this I added 9 questions:

1.       How old are you?

2.       What is your gender?

3.       What area do you live in?

4.       Are you a potential sponsor?

5.       Are you a potential player/related to one?

6.       Are you willing to donate?

7.       Would you consider attending this event?

8.       What went well with this proposal?

9.       What could be improved?

As you can see for my first question of “how old are you?” I had 10 responses. I asked this question because in my presentation I stated that the age I’m mainly aiming towards is 15 and 16 year olds and as you can see the age ranges from 5 to 18 on these responses so a certain percentage of these responses will be around the age of 15 and 16. However, people of all ages are able to attend this event and I will make sure that the audience know this.

This is my second question that asks the audience what their gender is. I asked this question because to know the gender of the audience allows me to know the demographic better to understand the social research and this means I had to be more thoughtful collecting the data. However, from the answers that have been collected, I have gathered that the majority of people are male and therefore this means that male characters are the most likely gender to be attending this event. In contrast, females are welcome to come and will be aimed towards them as well as males.

  This is my third question and it asks the audience what are do they live in. I asked this question because the event will be in West Derby so if the audience live within a 5 mile radius they are more likely to attend this even than someone within a 10 mile radius. From what I have gathered, the majority of the audience do live within a 5 mile radius and I should be expecting these people to more than likely attend the event.

My question 4 is asking the audience if they are a potential sponsor for the event. I expected to have more non-sponsors but it was quite the opposite. I have more potential sponsors for the event that can either help fund the event or even attend our event and sponsor the different teams and help fund their facilities.

This is my question 5 and it is asking if the audience is a player or someone known to a player. I asked this question to be able to predict how many people who aren’t there for the football will be attending the event and as predicted it came back 50/50 so I will hopefully be expecting players, people linked to the players and also people who just want to attend and help out with the event.

This question is a very important question because it is asking if the audience are willing to donate and as I hoped it would be a 100% yes and it is. This is important because this event is a charitable event that is going back into the community of grassroots football.

This could potentially be the most important question because to make this event successful people need to attend and that is why I asked this question to see if these people will attend and as I hoped everyone said they would and this means that this event is on track to being successful and then hopefully can repeat it annually on a bigger scale.

These last 2 questions are determining what went well and even better if of the actual proposal, this is personal feedback on what I did good when I presented this and what I can work on when I do another one in the future.
