Alongside this, VAT relief and the continuation of the business rate holiday would help stimulate and revitalise our high streets and towns. And for public leisure, local authorities require urgent ring-fenced funding from the Government to keep these vital community facilities afloat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meddai Huw Edwards, Prif Weithredwr ukactive:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe are excited that tomorrow many of our members in England will reopen their doors to the public, welcoming people back to their favourite workouts, activities and sports, in a safe environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur sector deserves huge credit for taking a proactive approach throughout lockdown, from helping to keep people active with online workouts to supporting our NHS with resources and donations, as well as its hard work in preparing its workforce and facilities for reopening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur members now have the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment, responsibility and accountability for public health, by maintaining the highest possible standards of health and safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile reopening is an important milestone, we are not yet out of the woods and some facilities and services will remain closed due to the ongoing financial pressures and restrictions caused by COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to call for urgent engagement and clarity on the reopening plans in Scotland and Wales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must prioritise the sector\u2019s role in the UK\u2019s recovery by providing the financial and regulatory support that physical activity businesses need to maintain their futures and help reduce our health inequalities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur gyms and leisure centres help form the fabric of our society, and today they are needed more than ever to strengthen our physical and mental resilience to COVID-19, as well as the underlying health conditions that have made this virus so deadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facilities in England were forced to close following the Government\u2019s announcement on 20 March, meaning more than 10 million members have been unable to access some of their favourite sports, activities and workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Many operators have been able to offer online products and services during lockdown, and <a href=\"mailto:https:\/\/ukactive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ukactive-COVID-19-Impact-Report.pdf\">consumer polling<\/a> showed that 84% of members said they will return to their gym or leisure centre once reopened, with 27% of non-members saying they would now sign up once reopen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To <\/strong><strong>view the official Government guidance and download
