A new campaign has been launched by Sport England and JustGiving, which aims to pump an additional £22m into grassroots sports over the next five years.

JustGiving for Sports Clubs will enable sports clubs across the country to raise more money and claim Gift Aid as part of the scheme, which is being delivered in association with the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR). Subscription fees worth £180 per year for every Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) have been dropped by JustGiving to entice more clubs to sign up, while CCPR will work to increase the number of clubs registered for CASC status

HM Revenue and Customs estimates that only one in 10 CASC clubs are currently taking advantage of the chance to claim Gift Aid, which would see clubs receive 28p from the government for every £1 raised. Sport England chief executive Jennie Price said: "In this tough economic climate, we need to do everything possible to support the community sports clubs that do so much to get more people playing and enjoying sport.

"Thanks to JustGiving for Sports Clubs, community sport's fabulous army of volunteers will now be able to spend more time on sport and less time on fundraising." CCPR chief executive Tim Lamb added: "We hope that this change will not just enable existing clubs to claim Gift Aid more easily but that it will encourage other community sports clubs who have not yet registered as CASCs to join the scheme.

"There are thousands of clubs out there which are missing out on the benefits of CASC membership and in these tough economic times benefits like this can make all the difference."
