If you operate a swimming pool within Huntingdonshire and provide access to the public, you may qualify for support from the Swimming Pool Support Fund which has been launched by Sport England to help operators with utility costs.
Any operators within Huntingdonshire that provide swimming pool provision to the public and want to apply for the funding must do so via their local authority.
All expressions of interest should be sent to Gregg.Holland@huntingdonshire.gov.uk and Leigh.Allaker@huntingdonshire.gov.uk.
The application deadline is 11 August 2023.
Please provide the following information:
-
The name and address of your organisation and swimming pool wishing to apply for funding
-
Confirmation that a programme of activity is delivered from the swimming pool operated, for members of the public
-
How many swimming pools you operate
-
Contact name.
Sport England will administer the scheme on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport which is providing the money. The fund has a total of £60 million which is being made available in two phases:
-
Phase 1: £20 million revenue to support facilities with swimming pools with increased cost pressures
-
Phase 2: £40 million capital to improve the energy efficiency of public facilities with pools in the medium to long term.
