Great news….a new and improved range of products and services is currently being developed to support all those involved in sport and activity in the community.

This is being carried out by the consultancy Knight, Kavanagh and Page on behalf of Sport England and the Centre of Excellence for Volunteering. The new programme will include a comprehensive package of practical support offering personal skills development opportunities and resources for volunteers and community clubs in the sports sector.

In this transitional period, resource materials and services offered prior to the start of the overhaul are still available to assist any on-going activity and learning. Free to download resources can be accessed here and materials to buy can be purchased from our shop here .

New staffing (area managers) and working structures are almost complete which will lead to greater engagement with sports volunteers up and down the country leading to continued new and different approaches to support.

If your club is accredited through Clubmark or is currently working towards accreditation, there is no need to worry. The work going on the background does not affect your status. In fact, we need you to help us identify your current requirements, either as individuals or clubs to ensure that we stay at the top or our game in supporting you.

If you have any questions, any suggestions about what else could be done or if you would like to give your views about developing community sport please get in touch via mail@clubmark.org.uk or 0161 764 7040.

We will ensure that Clubmark continues to go from strength to strength; what better legacy will there be from 2012 than an extensive network of community clubs offering high quality sporting opportunities for young people...
