"A sports think tank would be a great legacy from the 2012 games, enabling future generations to benefit from long term, well researched, and evidence-based sports policy making in the UK" Seb Coe
We think bringing people physically together is a key part of policy work, ensuring papers and abstract work comes to life through debate and discussion. Our events will range from policy breakfasts to seminars, from report launches to lectures.

What do God and Sport have in common? With the Olympics coming next year, a London Church is putting on a conference to explore what the link between Sport and Theology might be.
Many sports stars profess faith, many citing it as a major inspiration to their performance. This conference will be exploring the spiritual element in sport and how it affects athletes, spectators and the general public interested in sport.
