  DCMS Committee to hear from sports facility representatives on surviving the pandemic

  On Tuesday 12 December, a group of MPs called the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will hear from the gym industry on making sure our sports facilities, including pools and leisure centres, can survive the pandemic.

  Watch the session from 10 am on Tuesday 12 January on Parliament’s streaming site: https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/c4f1d7a0-2370-412b-8d88-a297b6abf06a

  This 'evidence session' is part of the Committee's inquiry into Sport in our communities. The Committee will hear from two panels:

  Panel 1 (10 am to 11 am)
  Rich Emerson, CEO, The Climbing Academy, and Chair of the Association of British Climbing Walls.
  Rebecca Passmore, UK Managing Director, PureGym

  Panel 2 (11 to 12 pm)
  Marg Mayne, CEO, Mytime Active, and Treasurer of Community Leisure UK
  Huw Edwards, CEO, ukactive

  The session is part of a longer inquiry looking into Sport in our communities. You can find out more here: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/647/sport-in-our-communities/

  You can get involved with the inquiry by recording your own video message or short film to answer the question: What does community sport mean to me?

  You must follow current COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions when filming your video- do not put yourself and others at risk. You can use animation, film your video indoors and you don’t need to film outside. We want to hear about why community sport is important to you and why it matters to you.
