Good work through sport and PE is being done in custody and the community, and this event will be an excellent chance to network across sectors.

The knowledge exchange will be held at the University on 21 September 2023. There will be speakers and attendees on the day from academia, His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service, those with lived experience in custodial settings, sports organisations, and the third sector.

You may also purchase an online ticket at a reduced price to view the keynote speeches live.

A donation from the ticket sales will be made to the Little Wren Yoga Prison Project at HMP Bristol to support the invaluable work being done to support the physical and mental health and wellbeing of prisoners and prison staff.
