Can our club continue with ground maintenance work?
We understand that conducting some essential ground maintenance may be important to ensuring the long-term existence of some sports clubs and facilities.
The government have confirmed that as long as social distancing regulations are adhered to and due regard for health and safety is followed, work that is essential to that space and cannot be done from home is acceptable and in this situation ground maintenance staff would be allowed to continue in their roles.
Please note, this advice is valid as per social distancing regulations on 6 April 2020, please continue to follow the most recent government advice.
How can we keep our club running?
This is likely to be a challenging period as many clubs and organisations seek to adjust to a lack of usual activities, whilst maintaining structures and processes where possible.
Sport England’s Club Matters have produced a suite of resources to assist clubs to continue operating, including financial planning, securing premises and holding virtual committee meetings and AGMs.
We welcome the publication of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s “Game On: Community and School Sport” report, which identifies a series of recommendations to government to strengthen grassroots sport and physical activity.
