Recommendations adopted
Building safer communities through sport
Sport and physical activity can help prevent crime, reduce reoffending and improve lives. Yet too often, they are treated as a nice-to-have rather than embedded in policy, practice and investment. As a result, good work remains fragmented, under-supported and difficult to scale.
That is why we bring governments, funders and institutions together to develop collective-impact programmes, strengthen the evidence base, shape policy and align investment around what works.
