CLUBMARK

Clubmark is the universally acknowledged cross-sport accreditation programme for community sports clubs from Sport England.

It shows that a Club provides the right environment which ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy sport and stay involved throughout their lives.

An accredited Club is recognised as safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages as well as helping parents and carers know that they are choosing the right club for their young people.
