As of 1 April 2022, we're in the government's 'Living with respiratory infections, including Covid-19' phase of their response to the coronavirus pandemic.
This means there are now no coronavirus-related legal restrictions in place.
All forms of activity can take place with no coronavirus-related restrictions on how many people can participate, and all sports facilities can open.
It's critical that the people who were impacted the most by the restrictions are supported to get active now restrictions have been removed.
We've compiled guidance on how you can engage specific audiences, how to ensure your facilities remain accessible, and more.
We collated research on people's attitudes to sport and physical activity throughout the pandemic.
It looked at the likelihood of people returning to their activity of choice once restrictions were removed, what might hold people back, and how activity providers could help encourage a return.
Club Matters has guidance to help sports clubs reopen, how to develop a risk register, and more.
Volunteers have a vital role to play as sport and physical activity providers continue their return from the pandemic.
So what should you be thinking about when it comes to your volunteers returning safely and well-prepared? We've answered some of the main questions.
All sport and physical activity providers had to prepare for the return to play, so we spoke to a variety of types and sizes of organisation.
We asked them how they and their users have fared during the pandemic, what they learned and how they prepared for reopening.
