Martyn’s Law: What Sports Clubs Need to Know

Date: Wednesday 8th July
Time: 1:00–2:00pm
Delivered by: Leigh Williams, Thrive Health CIC

Overview
Martyn’s Law (Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) is new UK legislation that will impact many sports clubs, particularly those hosting events, spectators, or community activity. While full compliance isn’t expected until Spring 2027, there is a valuable window now to build awareness and start preparing early.

This practical one-hour webinar is designed to help clubs understand what the law means in reality—without unnecessary complexity or concern. The focus is on proportionate, achievable steps that support safety and preparedness.

Why attend now?
