GymMark is British Gymnastic's club accreditation scheme that recognises the quality of the club. The key phrase for BG is ”safe, effective and child-friendly”.
The benefits of GymMark include:
  • Able to demonstrate that we have addressed issues such as equality and child protection which gives confidence to parents choosing the club for their children.

  • Developing our coaches, officials and volunteers – as part of GymMark, we are given help and advice in developing the skills of everyone involved in our club.
