Sport England’s Movement Fund is open to applications for emergency flood relief support. They are accepting applications to our Movement Fund from community organisations who’ve been impacted by the recent storms across the country.
The Movement Fund helps to get more people active in England. Sport England understand that the places people use to be active are a vital part of local communities and that recent weather has severely affected these spaces.
They’ll prioritise supporting sports and activities that need to recover quickly. Spring and summer sports, or where activity is not scheduled to take place for several weeks, will be a lower priority.
They can 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
- decontamination works or clearing of blocked drains
- 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. They are unable to fund the following costs:
- loss of stock
- loss of income
- any routine maintenance or repairs resulting from everyday wear and tear. This includes work to grass playing pitches that would usually be part of annual maintenance plans
- football facilities where they are predominantly used for affiliated/competitive league football – any funding request for projects that include football will need to clearly show they are a multi-activity facility
- any repairs to items or buildings that could be claimed through insurance policies.
