Yesterday we ran a touch rugby tournament at HMP Oakwood - 8 teams, 60 players and full day on the pitch under the blazing British sun.
For many of the men it was the first time they’d ever picked up a rugby ball. Others used to play rugby before their lives took a turn and their love for it was rekindled (after decades in some cases!)
In all cases though, the day demonstrated the power of rugby to bring new people together - of all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds - with respect, team work and some healthy competition 🏆
It was especially great to have volunteers from with us too - a club some of our graduates are already playing at.
It was amazing to have featured on National Prison Radio 📻
In the extended interview Joe, our Partnership and Impact Lead, and Sean, who has experienced the impact of 3Pillars first hand discussed just how important the work we are doing is!
Head over to the 3Pillars YouTube channel to listen to the full interview 🎙️
Looking back on an incredible collaboration between and for their recent fight day 5k while we also look forward to the 3Pillars x Matchroom Fitness Challenge we are organising with .bp.davis 🥊
At the fight day 5k we spoke to Matchroom’s Head of Community about his impression of the impact of the work we are doing as well as his reflections having gone into prison with us to see the work first hand.
Alex has also written a fantastic article that is available to read now on our website via the link in our bio 🔗

Looking back on what happened in a busy week for 👀
Rugby becomes the starting point for something bigger. Through sport, mentoring and personal development, participants build resilience, confidence and a sense of belonging.
This was in clear view across the work we were doing this week and looking back just reminds us of the ongoing impact has!
