We're delighted to have again successfully completed the FA's Charter Standard Health Check and to have received the certificate confirming our continuing status as a Charter Standard Community Club - the highest of the three levels of Charter Standard.

The Annual Health Check process applies to all FA Charter Standard Clubs to help ensure the standards of The FA Charter Standard programme are maintained, in particular relating to governance, coach education, safeguarding and welfare.

The FA Charter Standard Clubs programme is aimed at all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League and helps players, children and parents find a club in their local area that meets FA standards.

Pride Park FC was awarded FA Charter Standard Community Club status, the highest of three levels, in March 2015, building upon the work already done to attain Charter Standard.
