Sport England are making financial help available to support sport and physical activity during the coronavirus outbreak.

This includes a £20m Community Emergency Fund for small clubs and organisations. Sport England say

The types of organisations eligible include local sports clubs forced to close at short notice but who are facing ongoing  costs  around  maintenance and utility bills, and voluntary and community sector organisations who deliver or enable sport and physical activity.

A specific example might be a grant to support a local boxing club pay costs for their facility when no activity is taking place, or a grant to support a league who have paid for equipment to run a competition which has now been cancelled.
