Many sports clubs at risk of closure

Price increases due to utility bills also affect sports, an important part of the working world. I reproduce below the intervention of Tiziano Pesce,  UISP president, italian national organization of sport for all.

“Real resources and concrete interventions are needed. Let’s overcome the inequalities that still exist and accompany legislative reform.”

What we are launching, after our many appeals in recent months, is a further, heartfelt cry of alarm!
The enthusiasm and the great desire to restart and practice sports and physical activities, which we record in these days of September all over the country, clashes with the increasingly difficult family budgets, the increasingly heavy inflation and the high utility bills that hit hard those who of gas, electricity, heating oil, are obliged to make great use of them: sports associations and clubs, promotion bodies, recreational clubs, are literally at the brink, starting with those who manage, after the enormous sacrifices suffered in the midst of the health emergency, among other things not yet completely overcome, aggregation spaces, sports facilities, gyms and swimming pools.

Supply price increases are reaching these days to register increases of even 300-400%, tremendous percentages destined to rise every day. Absurd price increases, absolutely no longer sustainable.
We call for targeted government intervention to avoid closing down the world of grassroots sports and social promotion, with the cessation of activity for tens and tens of thousands of associations, which, for millions of citizens of all ages and conditions, represent authentic territorial garrisons of sports for all, sociality, inclusion, education, health promotion, the fight against inequality and much more.
An area that, let us not forget, also represents an employment sector for hundreds of thousands of people.
The cold months are upon us, we need real resources, and not just tax credits, which are in fact inaccessible to most sodalities, or it will be the end.
Resources, starting with the next aid decrees, and concrete structural interventions that leave no one on the street, neither the small associations nor the territorial levels of the Sports Promotion Bodies, almost never beneficiaries of the refreshments, we reiterate, although in many territories they are social managers of proximity sports facilities.
