Today The FA have launched 'Own It'; a new campaign aimed at encouraging eligible clubs to sign up to the The FA Charter Standard 'PROUD' accreditation scheme. 

The campaign focuses on the hard work and dedication of clubs around the country in growing their football clubs and promotes gaining accreditation as the next step on the journey towards becoming a great club. 

The Charter Standard programme is The FA’s accreditation scheme open to all grassroots clubs and leagues. It aims to raise standards in the game by supporting the development of clubs and leagues, recognising and rewarding commitment, quality and achievement. 

Does your club want more support? More funds? Better equipment? If the answer is 'yes' we think you should consider becoming accredited.

There is no charge to become accredited and our staff can support you through the process and guide you on what you need to do.
