Criteria and process
There are three levels of accreditation. As you’d expect, the criteria for Silver and Gold are more rigorous than for Bronze, but each one demonstrates a vital commitment to the health and wellbeing of visitors to your venue.

The Healthy Venue Award allows venues to apply for entry at any of the award levels. These are the costs:
| Criteria Met | Award Achieved | Direct entry to Award level | Upgrade to next level from entry level | Yearly review and renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Bronze | £1,500 | £500 | £500 |
| Bronze + Silver | Silver | £1,900 | £500 | £500 |
| Bronze + Silver + Gold | Gold | £2,300 | £500 |
For example, if you wanted to become a Silver Healthy Venue
you could qualify for Bronze (by meeting the required Bronze criteria) and pay the £1,500 entry fee, then once the Silver criteria are met you can pay £500 to upgrade to Silver.
Or, you could meet the Bronze and Silver criteria at the same time and pay £1,900 to enter at Silver level.
We review each Healthy Venue every year and this costs £500 to maintain your accreditation.
