Sport England’s Community Emergency Fund closes for applications at 11.59pm on Thursday, 14th May.
The Fund is set up for clubs and community organisations to bid into for grants between £300 and £10,000.
This Community Emergency Fund aims to deliver immediate funding to those most in need and is specifically targeted at organisations that have a role in supporting the nation to be active but that are experiencing short-term financial hardship or the ceasing of operations due to the impact of coronavirus.
The types of organisations eligible include local sports clubs forced to close at short notice but who are facing ongoing costs around maintenance and utility bills, and voluntary and community sector organisations who deliver or enable sport and physical activity.
A specific example might be a grant to support a local boxing club pay costs for their facility when no activity is taking place, or a grant to support a league who have paid for equipment to run a competition which has now been cancelled.
The deadline to submit any applications to Sport England’s emergency fund is 11.59pm on Thursday 14th May.
