Adding sand and organic matter as you suggest is what I would do. The
sand should be coarse rather than fine. The choice of exactly what
organic matter depends on what is available locally. For example,
here in my municipality in the USA, the township collects leaves in
the Fall, turns them into compost, and it;s available free.

I'd make sure to till it in well and also test and adjust the PH as
necessary. It's also not clear how much water is still running into
this area. If it's too much, you may still have problems. For
example, it's a pain to cut grass when it's wet and muddy. You may
want to consider if there is a way to intercept more of the water and
direct it away.
