The Cost of Living Crisis - What support is available for sports clubs and organisations?

There are many challenges arising from the current economic circumstances and the needs for operators to maintain financial and environmental sustainability. Therefore, a number of sporting organisations have created resources which aim to give practical support on how to reduce running costs for organisations involved with small physical activity and sports facilities as well as other support.

Sport England have published some guidance which aims to give practical advice on how to become more energy efficient and how to reduce runnings costs for those in the sport and physical activity sector. The guidance suggests a logical step-by-step framework for organisations to self-assess their own individual situation and decide on appropriate action.

Sported have launched a campaign, 'Keep the Doors Open' to ensure children and young people can still access sport and physical activity. They also have a range of webinars, resources and tips to help your organisation with the cost of living.
