As part of the support we offer to clubs in Lancashire, we are working in partnership with Local Authorities and Club Development Officers in each of these areas. Club Development Officers offer the opportunity to work closely with you and your club and conduct a review. This review looks at all areas where you may need that extra bit of support. You may want to check that you have all the correct policies and procedures in place or need additional support to in completing your clubmark accreditation.
The Club Development Officers can help and support you with; recruiting new volunteers, help to complete accreditation or reaccreditation, funding or an overall health check for your club to help develop it further.
If you are interested in meeting someone to complete a club review, please e-mail contact@lancashiresport.org.uk for details of your local contact.
Clubmark is a quality accreditation scheme for sport clubs with junior sections. It is vital that these clubs serve young people well and provide young people with a quality experience. 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.
