I have downloaded some information from www.gov.uk which may help you over the next few days. The government website is very useful and I strongly recommend you spend some time reading the information provided. I have attached copies for downloading below but if you use the links to the web pages there is further information available.

There are some main points to note;

If you are paying sick pay to employees (self-quaranteening) you cannot reclaim it immediately but the government will be setting up a repayment mechanism as soon as possible.

Clubs with rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000 should, after reading this inforamtion make enquiries to their local authorities

Clubs that fall below these figures and pay little or no business rates due to Small Business Rate Relief (SBBR) do not need to contact their authority. Your authority should contact you, and you should automatically receive £10,000 grant. This funding should be available early April.

All queries should be directed to your local authority.
