Application Process Advice for Club Hub Awards and Top 100 2026

The Club Hub Awards and Top 100 2026 will open 1st November 2025 so we thought we’d share some Top Tips and Application Process Advice to help you with your entries. These awards are the only national awards exclusively for children’s activity providers, with entries assessed by a judging panel only (no voting element).

The awards are open to Club Hub members and offered across 16 categories, to reflect the range of businesses in the sector. We are also proud to launch the Top 100 Children’s Activity Providers list. The first of its kind for the sector, this is an additional opportunity for Club Hub members to raise the visibility of their business. Entries will be assessed by expert judges, focussing on five key areas: Activity Benefits, Safeguarding, Inclusivity, Community Impact and Business Achievements.
