Time Running Out To Apply For "Winter Survival Fund"
Sun 7th February 2021 | General | By Kevin Wright
With just 7 days left to apply for the government funded “Winter Survival Package”, we talked to 2 NWCFL teams Chairman regarding the application process.
“Like all application process, it can seem a little daunting, but I found this to be straight forward” stated Rob Fuller, Chairman of Avro FC. “We only had to wait 7 days for confirmation and the much-needed cash will be in our account within 14 days”.
Rob found the process so easy he contacted us here at the league to encourage all our teams to apply. “Just make sure you have a copy of your most recent bank statement, clubs most recent accounts and an income and expenditure forecast for the next 3 months and the application process is remarkably simple. The form even calculates the potential award automatically”.
Also contacting us was Hanley Town Chairman Ron McIlreavy, “It took just 2 days for our grant award. The process is so simple, don’t overcomplicate it, know what your income and expenditure is and its easy!”
All application details can be found on the Football Foundation website at: https://footballfoundation.org.uk/grant/football-winter-survival-package
It states clubs in our Premier League could be awarded up to £10,500 and Division 1 teams up to £7500.
The website states “Remember, you'll need to hold less than six months of unrestricted operating reserves to be eligible for the fund”. Which means funds that are not tied up to other specific purposes. As Ron went on to say, “It’s operational funding, they are concerned with”.
Once the funding is approved and received it must be used by 31st March 2021 with evidence submitted of what funds have been spent on by 30th May 2021.
Remember, applications must be submitted by 9pm Sunday 14 February 2021. As Ron says “The Money is there for us. Use it!”
Ron has also kindly offered to help any team with their application. He can be contacted via email at chairman@hanley-townfc.co.uk
