Following the government’s announcement detailing the roadmap out of lockdown, many schools have been in touch looking for advice on whether they can welcome back their loyal hirers from March 29th.

We have digested all of the current guidance, which is of course subject to change, and have put together the below guide to demonstrate the timescales for when different activities will be likely to restart - we hope you find it useful.

Lockdown has been tough on us all, but opening up your facilities for social and physical activities will have a speedy but long lasting effect on your community’s mental health. The demand for spaces to play, learn and socialise has never been so high - grassroots teams are desperate to get back training and lockdown has unfortunately resulted in many people suffering from loneliness and inactivity.

We were delighted to hear last month that more than £10 million will be invested to support school sports and swimming facilities in England, and will be distributed through Sport England via the nationwide network of Active Partnerships, to help schools open their facilities outside of school hours, and encourage pupils to be more physically active.

The team at Vivify have generated over £20 million of community lettings revenue back into schools and facilitated over 25 million visits a year - so if you need any advice at all, from how to reopen safely to operational procedures and predicted revenues please do get in touch for a chat. 

Best wishes,

Head of School Partnerships
