About us
The Alliance of Sport in Criminal Justice (AoS) is an international charity which oversees a growing network of organisations using sport to drive social change. It is based in the UK and Southeast Asia, working alongside global partners to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
AoS is trusted by policy-makers and practitioners to help strengthen systems at the intersection of sport and criminal justice. We work in collaboration with multi-agency networks to improve health and wellbeing, and create safer, fairer communities. We share what works, improve how things are done, and create better outcomes for vulnerable individuals and communities facing complex challenges.
This year’s International Day of Sport for Development and Peace – which is led by the United Nations and takes place on 6th April each year – held special relevance for the Alliance of Sport in Criminal Justice (AoS). This is because 2025 marks 10 years since the Alliance of Sport was born thanks to support from long-term partners Comic Relief and the UK’s HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS).
