Purpose: Since the accession of Poland to the European Union, there has been a rapid increase in the implementation of projects supervised and funded by the European Union. Social and educational projects pursuing activation and development of youth enjoyed great popularity, in particular the social project entitled ‘Moje Boisko – Orlik 2012’, conceived for building 2012 modern and multi-functional sports pitches throughout the country by 2012. The project has received great recognition from the society, and the resulting sports facilities have won the affection of the beneficiaries. The purpose of the study is an attempt to assess the utilisation degree of 23 sports facilities designed within the framework of the ‘Moje Boisko – Orlik 2012’ project in the city of Bydgoszcz in the context of evaluation criteria, including adequacy, effectiveness, and efficiency. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a technique of analysis of primary source documents – desk research. As part of this technique, an analysis of the existing data was carried out. The analysis of the quality of accessible information under the separated evaluation categories of websites was carried out to assess the information contained in ‘Orlik’ type facility websites. Findings: The analysis of website accessibility showed that the Orlik facility websites are not adapted for use by people with any type of disability. The functionality analysis of the Orlik facility websites indicates they have few functions or do not have any function at all. In turn, the usability analysis of the facility websites showed that they are easy to browse and intuitive. It turns out that an effective project policy requires not only adaptation to the environment, but also active involvement of the community and flexibility in responding to varying needs and expectations of various social groups. Originality/value: The article focuses on analysing the function, usability and timeliness of the content of the websites of the Orlik pitches in Bydgoszcz, highlighting the need to improve the accessibility of the information. The article encourages measures to improve the quality of information and effective use of sports facilities, using the example of Orlik type pitches, making it useful and practical for pitch managers, the local community and potential users.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to propose risk management recommendations for social projects taking into account their specificities by analysing and evaluating the ways in which social project risks are managed in the literature and applied in practice. Design/methodology/approach: Both literature and empirical research have been used to provide an analysis of how risks of social projects are managed. The literature research, consisting of a literature review, will be contrasted with the results of the qualitative research carried out in the form of a single embedded case study. The result is a proposal in the field of project risk management for social projects. Findings: An analysis of the way in which social project risks are managed has made it possible to identify the interdependencies that exist in this area and to identify areas of social project risk management that are particularly in need of improvement. Research limitations/implications: The research is worth continuing by increasing the number of social project investigated in order to gain a broader perspective related to the risk management of social projects and to improve the proposed recommendations. Practical implications: The research led to the development of a diagram of the steps needed to be taken in social project risk management and how to automate it through the creation of a prototype project risk management tool. Social implications: The main aim of social projects is to achieve social change. This can take the form of creating new opportunities and spaces, resolving situations that hinder well-being and social development, as well as raising awareness and bringing about changes in the way society thinks. A prerequisite for the fulfilment of these objectives is the success of the project achieved through its correct implementation across all elements. One of these elements is effective and efficient risk management. Originality/value: The article expands on the number of studies related to social project risk management and draws attention to the very limited amount of literature slanting on this topic. In addition, it presents its own solutions for social project risk management.

Introduction/background: Raising the standard of living of local communities is one of the objectives of activities undertaken by local government units. The most important and essential in regional development is therefore social development. One of the stimulators of regional growth are European Union funds. The improvement of the social and professional situation of the residents of municipalities in the Silesian Voivodeship has been mainly influenced by EU funds implemented through the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship 2014-2020 under the European Social Fund (ESF). The municipality of Zbrosławice has implemented several such projects. Aim of the paper: The aim of the paper is to examine and analyse the impact of ESF-funded projects implemented in the municipality of Zbrosławice to strengthen social and professional activity of local communities in the period 2019-2021. The paper is based on research conducted for the master's thesis of Marcel Nalepa, whose scientific supervisor is Dr. Joanna Toczyńska. Materials and methods: In the study, cabinet research was conducted on the basis of data from the Central Statistical Office using the methods of universal statistics on the analysis of the socio-demographic situation of the Municipality of Zbrosławice. The aim of the research was to identify problem areas prior to the start of the social projects implemented in the period 2019-2021. Subsequently, field research was conducted in the Municipality using the method of comparative analysis of project documentation and reporting documentation on two ESF-funded projects in order to determine the degree of achievement of the assumed target indicators in the projects. The research further involved a diagnostic survey of the opinions and perceptions of project participants using a questionnaire method. Results and conclusions: As a result of the research, weaknesses and problem areas in the level of social life of the Municipality's residents were identified and solutions were proposed in the form of the need to implement specific projects. In addition, the research hypothesis assuming that the actions taken by the Municipality of Zbrosławice and the projects implemented in the period 2019-2021 contributed to strengthening the social and professional activity of local communities and strengthening the human potential of the Municipality was confirmed.
