answer text <p>The Government's tourism package on flood support, announced on 1 March 2014, was not grant based. The package included a tactical recovery marketing programme designed to encourage UK residents to take short breaks and trips leading up to Easter, and also funded business support workshops and drop in clinics for tourism and tourism related businesses. Destination Management Organisations could choose to take the opportunity to run the workshops on behalf of VisitEngland, providing the advice for those businesses affected by flooding in the winter floods. There are no plans to extend the package of flood support.</p><p> </p><p>Sport England has had a number of funds in place to help clubs upgrade and improve their facilities and pitches that date back before April 2013. Clubs affected by flooding from April 2013 would be very welcome to apply to these funds to get more people playing sport. Sport England's Inspired Facilities Fund has invested over £91 million to modernise over 1600 local sports clubs and its Protecting Playing Field fund has invested over £22 million into 399 projects to protect and improve over 1000 pitches.</p>
