Restart Grants

For businesses in England, including rugby clubs, new Restart Grants will launch in April 2021. Businesses in the hospitality, leisure, personal care, and fitness industries could be eligible for grants of up to £18,000.

Clubs need to apply via their Local Authority and information should be available on Local Authority websites from Monday 29 March. However, please note these grants will be taxable as per previous retail, hospitality and leisure grants. Further information is available below.

At the start of the National Lockdown in January the Government released various support packages, cash grants of up to £9,000 per property are available on top of the Local Restrictions Support Grants of up to £4,500 per 42 day period.

Full information on the support available can be accessed below, as well as what assistance is available can be found on the RFU funding page below
