Funding to help flood- damaged facilities

Sport England has opened its Movement Fund to applications for emergency flood relief support from sports organisations affected by the recent storms across England.

Sport England said it will prioritise supporting sports and activities that need to recover quickly. This means that “spring and summer sports”, or where activity is not scheduled to take place for several weeks, will be a lower priority.

The Movement Fund eligibility criteria will apply to organisations seeking emergency relief funding. Organisations applying will need to confirm they have any relevant permissions required to carry out the work.

Applications should submit evidence of damage which is directly attributable to the recent flooding. This should be in the form of photographs or reports of the damage that has occurred. The funding can be used to cover the costs related to bringing facilities back to operations.
