Sport England support available for flood-damaged facilities
As a result of the recent flooding in October and November, Sport England’s Small Grants Programme is now open to applications for storm relief funding from organisations in the areas most affected.
The available funding will be focused on those areas most badly affected, and prioritising sports and activities that need to return quickly. Spring and summer sports, or where activity is not scheduled to take place for several weeks, will be a lower priority.
Organisations applying will need to confirm they have any relevant permissions required to carry out the work and will also need to show why the damage couldn’t be covered by their insurance policy.
The Small Grants Programme can be used to fund emergency costs to help restore sports facilities and activity venues. Examples include skip hire to remove sediment and rubbish; minor electrical works to restore power; and cleaning work to get showers and changing rooms back up and running.
securing buildings.
The funding is only designed to help with the initial clear up to enable activity to resume.
