SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is calling on sports clubs impacted by recent storms in North Wales to apply for financial assistance.
A Storm Damage Fund has been set up by Sports Wales and Mr Rowlands is urging anyone affected by the recent extreme weather to seek funds.
He said: “Heavy rain and strong winds wreaked havoc all across North Wales recently causing lots of damage to many sports clubs and facilities across the area and I am delighted to see a temporary fund set up to help them.
“It is very sad to see the damage to these clubs and I just hope that they will take advantage of the financial assistance on offer and apply before applications close next week.
“I am delighted to see this initiative which will certainly help sports clubs recover more quickly from the impact of storms, and making sure that facilities can reopen and continue serving their communities as soon as possible.”
The Storm Damage Fund, is now open for applications offering grants from a minimum of £300 up to a maximum of £5,000.
The grants can be used to help clean and repair facilities damaged by storms including clubhouses, facilities and fixtures and fittings.

- Estimated repair costs

- At least one photograph evidencing the damage
Applications are now open and close at 4pm on Tuesday 17 December 2024 and must be submitted online through the Grants Portal.
