Resource type: Webinar

A recording of our Dialogue & Debate webinar, streamed live on Wednesday 1 September at 11am. The Social Impact of Sport explores how to build on sport’s benefits to communities, whilst grappling with some its challenges. This includes racism, class divisions and social exclusion.

  • Russ Jefferys – Head of Communications, parkrun
  • Hamid Vaghefian – Head of Community Engagement, London Marathon Events; Trustee, the Running Charity and Young Harrow Foundation; Non-Executive Director at the Sport and Recreation Alliance.
