I know that most clubs do lots that goes un noticed and they give players annual community awards etc but there's something bigger needed imo. Most top professional businesses for example now report to the analysts as part of their end of year accounts how much charity work theyve done or how much theyve given to charity or their environmental committment etc. May be it's something that SL should start to include in their franchise criteria... number of charity events ran or number of days that your players spend fund raising or something like that. They are role models too.
I think that part of the franchise criteria is to run an effective Community department.
As far as charity goes, much of the fund-raising that clubs get involved in will go to their own Sport and Education Trusts i would imagine in order to pay for the Community projects.
