Boxing Futures - Grant feedback

Earlier this year we announced that Sherborne in the Community had supported 4 charities in the form of grants. As we open our next round of grant applications, we'd like to share a little more about the work that has been possible from our initial grants.

First up, Boxing Futures. They provide the opportunity for young people to enjoy a fitter, healthier lifestyle, whilst improving self-confidence through engagement in a positive activity. The team use this new found experience and energy in a young person’s life as a platform from which they can pursue routes into employment, education, training and volunteering (EETV).
 
At Boxing Futures, they engage with the ‘whole person’ and do not just focus on one aspect of their life. They aim to improve chances of EETV, through working with young people to develop their soft skills and pro social behaviours. 

Our grant enabled a 12 week programme to be delivered with Depaul delivering some great results (see below). Please take a look at their website and their social pages to keep up to date with their great work. 

We'll bring you news of our other grant recipients over the next month.
