Calcot Amateur Boxing Club in Barry

In places near to our home city of Bristol we are delivering our programmes ourselves. In places further afield, we are scaling through collaboration, training exceptional local organisations to deliver our programme. In 2019 we achieved our first milestone by evolving into an established regional charity.

South Wales

With the support of the Dulverton Trust, we expanded our offering to deprived communities in South Wales in 2018. We have now solidified our position in Wales this year, in no small part due to the quality of our coaches Nathan Noddy Powell, and Aaron Morten. We currently work in Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan.
