A new ‘Sport Wales Storm Damage Fund’ has been launched to support local sports clubs and not-for-profit community organisations affected by recent storm damage.
Following discussions with the Welsh Government, Sport Wales has secured additional funding to help clubs recover, with grants available for amounts ranging from £300 up to £5,000. Applications are now open and will close promptly at 4pm on Tuesday 17th December, providing a short but vital window for clubs to apply for much-needed support.
The fund can be used to cover essential recovery costs, including repairs to facilities, clubhouses, and infrastructure, fixtures, fittings, flooring, and furniture, replacement of damaged equipment, pitch works and utilities repairs, cleaning costs and replacing white goods. Councillor Chris Morgan, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said “This new funding from Sport Wales is a vital lifeline for community sports clubs that have been impacted by recent storms.
“It will help clubs recover and continue delivering valuable opportunities for people to stay active and connected. I encourage all eligible organisations to apply as soon as possible to ensure they don’t miss out.”
Applications will be processed within 4 weeks, although this will depend on the volume of submissions received. Clubs and organisations are urged to act quickly and submit their applications before the deadline.
