Club Mark Achievement

clubmark_logo.jpgWe’re pleased to announce that Wolverhampton and Bilston AC is now acknowledged on the West Midlands pages of the England Athletics website as a high quality club demonstrating good practice and certain minimum operating standards.

Clubmark accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards in four areas:

Clubmark accreditation recognises that athletic clubs are safe, effective and child friendly by ensuring that the necessary workforce, policies and procedures are in place.

This also means that the club now has the opportunity to apply for additional funding to support the development of club, such as buying new equipment or providing education training for coaches. Thanks to all the team who helped to bring this about.
