The Canoe England Top Club accreditation scheme is based on the principle that clubs demonstrate:

• A commitment to young people
• Provision of safe, quality activity and coaching programmes

For clubs that have achieved the standards it gives public recognition - for clubs that wish to improve what they do it is like a blue print - or model to help and guide which areas to work on. The Top Club award is not just for clubs - BCU approved centres in England can work towards the award and we welcome any who would like to participate in the scheme.
