Find a Clubmark Centre

Clubmark is a cross sport accreditation scheme specifically designed for clubs with junior sections. The British Horse Society working on behalf of the British Equestrian Federation is accrediting clubs or centres that are BHS Approved. British Horseball Association, the Association of British Riding Schools and Riding for the Disabled Association also have accredited clubs. British Equestrian Vaulting, British Reining and the Pony Club are working on pilot schemes.

Why should I choose a Clubmark accredited club?

Clubmark is a mark of high quality clubs which helps to reassure parents, participants and local authorities that the club serves its participants well. Sports clubs that work with children and young people need and deserve support to improve the quality of work they do so that we can:
  • Ensure the well-being of young people whilst in the care of adults, other than their legal parent(s)/carer(s).

  • Enthuse young people to enjoy sport and active recreation to build a healthy and active lifestyle.

  • Enable young people to use their leisure time creatively.

  • Allow young people to optimise their talents and personal ability.

  • Identify and support the development of the most talented young people.

The minimum criteria that clubs are required to fill include:

  • The playing programme

  • Duty of care and child protection

  • Knowing your club and its community

  • Club management
