About Ben Breeze

Ben is a dedicated and passionate sport and third sector senior leader who has founded, managed and successfully developed two multi-Parliamentary award-winning charities in an 18-year career in sport, physical activity and charity development.

 

Ben’s work at Bristol Sport Foundation and previously at Bristol Rugby Community Foundation, used sport and physical activity education programmes to better address societal inequalities in the most disadvantaged communities in Bristol.
