Designed in 2001, the FA Charter Standard initiative was launched with the promise of improving grassroots football and aimed to make a difference in local communities around the country.

Hawkwell Athletic with their Charter Standard Award

 
    
Newly formed Great Bentley Youth recently received their certificate and the club's Graham Budinger commented: ""You can tell when you play against other clubs that have the Charter Standard award. They're superbly run and the kids love running around with the FA logo on their arm!"
 
Hawkwell Athletic are the Essex County FA's 100th Charter Standard club and Vice-Chairman, Martin Robbins, believes that the award has boosted their profile in the local community and surrounding areas: "We've always had a reputation for being a very friendly club and our Charter Standard certificate shows parents that their children are playing in a safe environment and with qualified coaches."
 
Benefits of the Charter Standard include increased funding opportunities, in-service training events and reduced prices on Essex FA coaching courses.
