Herts Sports Partnership is urging local sports clubs in need of extra funding to apply to the Cash 4 Clubs sports grants scheme. The scheme which is aimed at community sports clubs recently awarded Broxbourne Swimming Club a grant of £750 to buy new lane ropes and a storage reel.

John O’Callaghan, Herts Sports Partnership’s Club, Coach and Sports Development Manager, said: “It’s great news to see a local club benefitting from this grant scheme. The grant to buy new lane ropes will not only benefit Broxbourne Swimming Club, but also the school pool at which the club is based. This will keep swimming affordable for the club.”

He added: “The scheme offers awards to sports clubs of up to £1000, a valuable source of funding for smaller pieces of equipment or sports kit that most sports clubs need replacing at some point.”
