Funding available for facilities damaged by extreme weather

Community organisations affected by the recent impact of extreme weather, including Storms Bert, Conall, Darragh, Eowyn and Herminia can apply to Sport England’s Movement Fund to recover quickly.

Supporting emergency relief and helping with costs during a crisis, like flood damage from extreme weather, is catered for by the Movement Fund – with its goal being to get more people active in England.

And Sport England chief executive, Tim Hollingsworth, is aware of the impact severe weather can have on sport and physical activity providers, and the communities they serve.

“Storms and major weather events don’t just damage our facilities and pitches; they damage our opportunities for good health, community connection, fun and friendship too,” he said.

“That’s why the Movement fund is available to organisations that are struggling in the aftermath, to restore opportunities to play sport and get active in the worst-hit areas.”

Funding will be prioritised to support sports and activities that need to recover quickly, with spring and summer sports, or where activity is not scheduled to take place for several weeks, being a lower priority.
