The Sports Winter Survival Package aims to protect the immediate futures of major spectator sports in England over the winter period. The funding process will be overseen by an independent decision-making board and supported by Sport England.

Sport England will publish details about applying to the Sports Winter Survival Package shortly. Speedway, along with other sports, will then be welcome to apply for support from the Package providing they meet the relevant eligibility criteria.
