Why become a CAA member?

Community - We give you the connections you need to successfully run your business. Not only with credible suppliers, but with like-minded peers. Through our Children’s Activities Association Community Facebook group and events, you’ve got a ready-made network to go to for advice and inspiration.

Benchmarking - What does ‘good’ look like? It’s often hard to know exactly, with the sector remaining mostly unregulated. As a CAA Certified or Accredited Member, we’ll walk you through the process. With a focus on safety and safeguarding, a CAA ‘badge’ assures parents that your classes meet the CAA benchmark and that their children are safe.

Growth - You’ll get access to webinars, events, training sessions, drop-in clinics, templates, and various resources to help you run and grow your business. And benefit from representation and advocacy through our lobbying efforts, aimed at fostering support and growth for the entire sector.
