Fears are growing that the government’s £100 million National Leisure Recovery fund is only a small fraction of the £800m thought to be needed to keep leisure centres afloat following the devastating impact of three national lockdowns.
The fund from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport was first announced in October to support arms length leisure providers, but faced delays in getting sign off from Treasury. The deadline for sending through expressions of interest was extended until last Friday, with awards being made on a rolling basis and expected to start coming out next week.
The fund was initially intended to help leisure providers with the costs of reopening their services, but with the latest national lockdown declared this month Sport England, which is administering the fund, has just agreed to expand the scope of what the cash can be spent on to reflect the additional costs of prolonged closures.
