Mark Pawsey MP attended an event in Westminster yesterday to throw his weight behind the Sport and Recreation Alliance’s Red Card to Red Tape campaign, which aims to help sports clubs in Rugby.
Commentator and former England rugby union international Brian Moore joined Mark at the event, which highlighted the Alliance’s campaign to reduce the regulatory burden on sports clubs.
Speaking after the event Mark said:
“Sport and recreation clubs are a vital part of our social fabric. There are dozens of clubs in Rugby that do a fantastic job providing sports facilities for their members, as well as providing valuable social work within the community. Most of them are run by volunteers who put in a lot of time and effort to give their membership the chance to take part in sport”.
Mark continued:
“Cutting unnecessary bureaucracy for clubs would provide tangible benefits for all involved. I therefore support the Alliance’s recommendations for change, and hope the government will look seriously at the issue of red tape in grassroots sport”.
