The FA Charter Standard award is a national kitemark recognising those clubs that are providing quality football opportunities in a safe environment. The programme is accessible to both junior and adult clubs and can be achieved by clubs who run only one team or those with numerous teams.

FA Charter Standard Club Programme

The F.A. Charter Standard Programme looks to provide recognition to those clubs who demonstrate:

Required Standards
Raising Standards
Reaching Excellence

However, maybe the most important benefit is the recognition, from The FA that the club demonstrates to all members, parents and the public that they are a well organised, safe club offering opportunities for all.

Scarborough Ladies FC was awarded the NRCFA FA Charter Standard of the Year Award for 2014.
