Subject:
Meeting with FA to discuss Sport Winter Survival Package
Date:
Wednesday, November 25, 2020 2:53:00 PM
Hi Mark
 
I am writing to update you on the Sport Winter Survival Package.   As you know, Sport England is working closely with
Government on this and we are really pleased to support this essential  Covid19 sector response.  We continue to work at
speed with DCMS to help get it mobilised. 
  
The intention of the programme is to meet the severe financial needs across the sector based upon the restricted access of
spectators. We recognise the significant impact of this on Football, and know from the comprehensive information provided
to DCMS of the potential implications – particularly around the National League and Women’s Super League. 
  
Given the immediacy of need, working collaboratively with The Football Association on this programme will undoubtedly
be the most effective approach. Therefore, I would be really grateful if we could arrange a session as a matter of urgency to
discuss the approach with you and relevant others from your team, together we hope with colleagues from the DCMS. 
  
Ideally we would like to be able to host this meeting for at least one hour on Friday afternoon after 2pm and before 6pm.  If
that is not possible then please let me know who best to contact and my assistant 
 will be in touch directly to find a time
as early as possible next week.  
  
We will share an outline agenda ahead of the session – and in the meantime please feel free ask any questions or to share
any thoughts or queries. 
  
The areas we intend to cover will include: 
·         The headline programme structure; 
·         An outline of the process; 
·         A discussion on the potential implications/risks/opportunities for your sport 
·         A discussion on the option for the FA’s direct involvement in the administration and decision-making for lower tiers
of the sport; and 
·         Establishing a collaborative way of working during this period. 
  
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries, otherwise I look forward to meeting with you in the near future. 
  
Best wishes 
 
Tim
