People are being invited to find a way to get a better understanding of the barriers and challenges that face under-represented groups in sport and physical activity.

Active Cumbria will be holding a conference showcasing people who have overcome some of the challenges that face them.

There will be an opportunity to find out how others in the sport and physical activity sector are working with groups that are under-represented.

The stakeholder conference will also explore solutions to the identified barriers, issues and challenges facing under-represented groups, and look to increase engagement and integration in sports.

The conference will take place on September 20 at Energus, in Workington, and free tickets are available from the Eventbrite website.
