Holmbridge Cricket Club has been awarded the ECB Clubmark Accreditation.
ECB Clubmark is an accreditation scheme for cricket clubs which shows that a club is sustainable, well run and provides the right environment for its members. Clubmark accreditation shows that our club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young people. It is only available to clubs with well managed, safe junior sections and clubs who are able to create a benchmark for high quality community club cricket.
It is built around a set of core, nationally recognised criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards.
Clubmark aims to make sure the nation’s sports Club infrastructure is safer, stronger and more successful and stands for higher standards of welfare, equality, coaching and management in community sports Clubs.
It marks Holmbridge CC out as one of the best in the country and that our Club provides the right environment for everyone involved, ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy cricket and remain involved throughout their lives.
