Club
accreditation is a method of recognising and acknowledging quality
clubs in both Surrey and nationally. It provides a clear and
structured approach to improving and developing your club and
ensuring that your club is a truly quality sporting
environment. Working towards club accreditation is essential
if your club is looking to gain funding assistance.

achieve levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. With
the help of sports development officers and your very own guidebook
and ready-made templates, your club can work through the levels,

What is the difference
between Clubmark and Active Surrey Club
Accreditation? Almost
nothing! Clubmark is a national club development
and accreditation scheme that is run by Sport England and many
national governing bodies of sport. However, not
all clubs can prove their worth as not all sports run the scheme;
and when they do, Clubmark can appear a daunting challenge and
confusing to complete.
Instead, in Surrey, we
have worked with our partners to devise a more structured, logical
and easier approach for ALL clubs to be able to improve and
benefit. The three stages are clearer and more
understandable and the levels naturally link in with other club
initiatives such as Step into Sport and Community Amateur Sports
Club that can reduce your tax burden, increase
membership and attract new
volunteers.
And, for clubs from
sports with Clubmark, on achieving Gold accreditation the club will
have completed 95% of the criteria required for Clubmark, and will
thus be eligible for that award too!
