Scottish Rugby has launched a new £500,000 Club Hardship Fund (CHF) to offer financial assistance to grassroots clubs facing cashflow and financial challenges through the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Designed to help clubs through the period of uncertainty created by the Coronavirus outbreak, the CHF would release funds to support identified financial issues caused by a lack of fixtures or pressures on other revenue streams.
With a lack of fixtures and reduction on public gatherings clubs may struggle for cash-flow and Scottish Rugby wishes to help and support them.
In addition to the £500K Club Hardship Fund, Scottish Rugby is also accelerating its collective club support payments by a month to April from May which will in itself exceed £500,000 in funding to ease the financial burden.
Scottish Rugby will also be talking to all its key partners and stakeholders to generate wider support for the CHF and to offer further practical support to our local clubs across Scotland.
Clubs will be invited to apply to the CHF by completing and returning a CHF claim application which will be posted on the Sottish Rugby website later this week.
The full criteria for CHF applications will be shared in the coming week.
