ASTLEY BRIDGE CC IS ECB CLUBMARK ACCREDITED

What is ECB Clubmark?

Clubmark is an accreditation scheme for cricket clubs which shows that the club is sustainable, well-run and provides the right environment for its members.

Clubmark accreditation also means Astley Bridge CC 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.

Clubmark remains a key component of helping clubs raise standards in the recreational game and is used by many leagues as an entry requirement and the Home Office as part of requirements for the managed migration process.
