The government has provided up to £600 million support through the Sport Survival Package to spectator sport organisations throughout the pandemic. To date, we have publicly announced more than £230 million support which has helped hundreds of organisations survive whilst restrictions on crowd capacities have been in place. Speedway clubs have received over £300,000 in loan support from the package to date.
