‘Clubs in Crisis’ beneficiaries announced
Sheffield Diving Club have been announced as one of three beneficiaries of the Made by Sport #ClubsInCrisis competition.
Three community clubs have received £5000 support packages to help them get through lockdown and beyond. The competition was created following research by Newton for Made by Sport which revealed that over 40% of grassroots sports clubs were either in deficit or just breaking even before the pandemic, with many operating on less than £10,000 per annum with 50% led by volunteers.
National Cycle Network in Yorkshire receives Open Country award for disabled access
Yorkshire-based charity Open Country has presented the Sustrans North team with a prestigious award for contribution to improving disabled access across Yorkshire.
Open Country’s Good Access Scheme award celebrates efforts to open up more accessible routes for walkers and cyclists.
The team in Yorkshire completed an extension of the cycle path from Thorp Arch to Newton Kyme, creating a 6km traffic-free route linking Wetherby and Newton Kyme. Their project on Route 69 of the National Cycle Network has also connected Castleford and Wakefield Greenway providing people with 16km of accessible paths
Sector support information hub
At times, the amount of information to take in can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a sector support page on our website to bring together all the latest updates and resources as we find them.
Naturally, there will occasionally be a delay between an announcement and information appearing on the page, but we’ll do all we can to keep it as accurate and up to date as possible.
