During the national lockdown announced by Government (from 5 January to 15 February 2021) the following grant schemes will be available to support affected businesses:

  • Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed): for businesses that are legally required to close and which pay business rates
  • Additional Restrictions Grant: for businesses that are legally required to close but do not pay business rates, or for those not required to close but significantly impacted by the lockdown restrictions
  • Closed business lockdown payment: a further one-off grant payment, based on rateable value, for eligible retail, hospitality and leisure businesses. This will be:
    • £4,000 for businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or under
    • £6,000 for businesses with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000
    • £9,000 for businesses with a rateable value over £51,000.

This 'closed business lockdown payment' is the one that we believe clubs could be eligible for, providing a £4,000 top-up to the £10,000 received in Spring 2020.

Eligibility
You are eligible if:

  • your business/sports club is based in England
  • you are a business/sports club that occupies property
  • you are receiving small business/sports club rate relief or rural rate relief as of 11 March

If you have already completed an application for funding due to restrictions from November 2020 onwards you may not need to complete another full application, however you will need to check with your local authority who are administering the grants.
