CHARTER STANDARD

Introduction

 
   The FA Charter Standard programme was launched in February 2001 with the aim of setting minimum standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs.   
 
The project is at the heart of The Football Association's investment programme for grassroots football that will see £32 million spent this year to improve facilities and coaching across the country.
 
Many Grants and Funding Opportunities provided by the FA and the Football Foundation are only available to clubs who have gained, or are working toward, Charter Standard
