In October, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth announced the roll-out of the $50 million Sport Resilience Package (SRP), which includes $25 million for existing measures, as well as an additional $25 million for new and enhanced measures. The new measures under the SRP aim to support critical players in our sports ecosystem, to preserve core capabilities in athlete pathway and pipeline development, as well as to catalyse industry to provide innovative sports formats for Singaporeans to continue to stay active during these times.
Following the Multi-Ministry Taskforce’s announcement of the stricter safe management measures from 8 – 30 May, Sport Singapore has set aside support of up to S$18 million under the SRP for eligible businesses and Self-Employed Persons (SEPs) impacted by the latest guidelines. The new measures are intended to help defray operating costs for the affected businesses and support the affected SEPs during this period, preserve core capabilities, as well as catalyse the industry to encourage Singaporeans to continue to stay active.
