23/5/2020	Sport England Community Emergency Fund Award In May, we were delighted to have been awarded an amount of £1090 of National Lottery funding from Sport England’s Community Emergency Fund to help towards our various overhead costs during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the virus and the consequent shutdown of businesses as of March 23 has left the sport and physical activity sector facing a period of uncertainty. In response, on March 31 Sport England announced a £195m package to help the sport and physical activity sector through COVID-19. Within the package is a £20m Community Emergency Fund, of National Lottery money to deliver immediate funding to those who have a role in supporting the nation to be active but are experiencing short-term financial hardship or the ceasing of operations due to the impact of COVID-19. The grant will help Clanfield Bowls & Sports Club to pay for such things as maintenance costs of the Pavilion and Bowling Rinks as well as broadband, website, software and other costs of preparing the Club for safe re-opening.
