Sports and physical activity are crucial for our mental and physical health. The Chief Medical Officer is clear that being physically active is important to long-term health and crucial for keeping people healthy. That\u2019s why we have continued to make sure that people can exercise throughout the national restrictions, and why we have ensured that grassroots and children\u2019s sport is front of the queue when easing those restrictions.<\/p>

On Monday 22 February, the Prime Minister announced a roadmap out of the current lockdown in England. The government has introduced a step approach to the return of outdoor and indoor sport areas across England. From 8 March, sport has been able to take place in school for all children, or as part of wraparound activities if children are attending in order to enable their parents to work, seek work, attend education, seek medical care, or attend a support group. Any organised outdoor sport was able to restart on 29 March.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The Government has provided unprecedented support to the sport sector to ensure these facilities are able to open. Beyond elite level sport, £100 million of funding has now been provided to support local authority leisure centres. Sport England are also providing £220 million directly to support community sport clubs and exercise centres through this pandemic, including their £35 million Community Emergency Fund. Sport England\u2019s new strategy, \u2018Uniting the Movement\u2019, dedicated an additional £50 million to support grassroots sports clubs and organisations.<\/p> <\/p>"}
