A new £100 million National Leisure Recovery Fund will be a ‘shot in the arm’ for swimming pools across the country and help safeguard the long-term future of ‘cherished’ facilities.
The National Leisure Recovery Fund was announced by Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, at the end of October and Swim England chief executive Jane Nickerson has hailed the launch of the fund as a ‘welcome development’.
Local authorities will be able to apply for the fund to assist the reopening and recovery of leisure services and prevent further closures of leisure centres.
