Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) Scheme
This Government initiative allows amateur sports clubs who provide facilities and
promote participation in sport to save money through tax refunds of £28 for every
£100 donated to the club, income tax relief on those donations and 80% rate relief
by registering as a Community Amateur Sports Club. Registration is simple and
can take a matter of weeks to complete.

increase participation in sport at grass roots level, and/or improve basic skills. New
sponsorship, minimum of £1,000 (£500 for schools), is matched by Sportsmatch on
a pound for pound basis.
