ASA clubs are being asked to take part in survey to help ensure the welfare of sports and sports clubs is protected by the Government.

The Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR) is conducting a UK-wide survey in order to lobby Government with the aim of looking after the interests of voluntary sports organisations and argue for increased funding for sports clubs.

To give CCPR a better idea of the needs of clubs, the questionnaire addresses issues such as membership, facilities and volunteers, so that they can build a robust picture of the state of sports club in this country.

Each club that takes the time to respond will be entered into a prize draw with the chance of wining £500 worth of sports equipment.
