Publishing with a purpose for 25 years

In 2021 we celebrated 25 years since Policy Press was established and 5 years since the creation of Bristol University Press.

From the beginning, our mission has been to publish with a purpose – to encourage positive social change by addressing the social, economic, political and environmental challenges the world faces. Find out more in our specially commissioned anniversary brochure which outlines our history, mission, passion, and our hopes for the future.

This and all the content below is a celebration of our history and our hope that we will continue to make a difference. We hope you enjoy!

Thank you for your continued support and your shared commitment to our purpose as a publisher for social change.
