Welsh Government grants Wrexham AFC £100k after club got caught in geographic pandemic support gap

Welsh Government grants Wrexham AFC £100k after club got caught in geographic pandemic support gap Wrexham Football Club has had a £100,000 grant from Welsh Government, after a period of confusion on if pandemic support should originate from UK Government or Welsh Government. As we have previously reported Wrexham Football Club was the only club out of 66 other league members not eligible for an avenue of UK Government pandemic support, apparently due to being a Welsh club in and English league system. In late January the Welsh Government announced a £17.7m grant based fund to support spectator sports in Wales, with football allocated £1.5m of the total pot, however Wrexham was also not included in that tranche.

Anthony Joshua teams up with Revolut to support gyms

Anthony Joshua has partnered with a company offering independent boxing gyms across the UK vital funds to survive following the pandemic. The boxer from Watford has teamed up with Revolut, a digital finance company, to donate a minimum of £50,000 to hundreds of boxing gyms. Facilities such as gyms and leisure centres were not included in the UK Government’s Sport Winter Survival Package late last year, and sports charity ukactive estimated that 400 facilities have closed their doors permanently since the pandemic and another 2,400 gyms are at risk. To help, Revolut has partnered with Joshua to launch a new glow-in-the-dark debit card to raise funds for the donation.
