During the Covid-19 pandemic, Sported partnered with Simply Health to run The Physical Return project – supporting member organisations to be able to continue to deliver services safely
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant disruption and challenges for Sported members, with additional stresses and strains including operational challenges, risk of closure, well-being of group leaders and the impact on young people within their community.
Sported and Simply Health worked together to offer:
– A £2,000 grant available for groups to be spent on whatever the groups needed to get activities back up and running for young people
-Support to navigate the various Covid-19 guidelines to ensure they could operate safely in the delivery of their sport or physical activity
-Marketing and communications support to help promote their organisation and the people that make it so special
