Organisations affected by the recent storms can apply for up to £15,000 from Sport England’s Storm Relief Fund.
Organisations with facilities – such as clubhouses, courts and pitches – affected by the recent storms can now apply for grants of up to £15,000 through the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund.
Whilst the effects of the recent storms and the subsequent flood damage are still being assessed, Sport England want to ensure community sports facilities aren’t forgotten and are ready to reopen as soon as possible.
The money could be used to repair storm-damaged building and roofs, grass and artificial pitches, decontaminate flooded clubhouses, replace damaged electrical systems or clear blocked drains.
Other items needed may include the hire of skips, pressure hoses or tarpaulins to secure exposed buildings (for use only when safe to do so).
Your organisation can apply if you’re responsible for the facility and:
- A not-for-profit voluntary group or sports organisation
- A not-for-profit community club or organisation
- A registered charity
- A not-for-profit company
- A community interest company (CIC) with three directors or other social enterprise
- A leisure operator, operating a single site
- A public body such as a local authority, parish or town council, education establishment (you will need to provide £:£ matched funding)
If you need £15,000 or less, use the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund application form and use ‘Storm 22’ as the project title.
If you need more than £15,000, contact Sport England to discuss it on 0345 850 8508 or email: [email protected]
