"We're trying to encourage young people off the streets, and this club is really making a difference, introducing discipline into their lives and raising self-esteem."
"Jon Rogers has been very helpful and supportive of this club, helping us to win grants from the Council to start up free, non-contact, after-school lessons for kids."
On top of the small joining fee, which includes a basic kit and members insurance, the low cost of £3 per week keeps clients coming back. The club has also been working with "Safer Bristol" to organise yoga and dance classes to include more of the local community within such projects.
"Boxing requires dedication and commitment, it encourages them to keep fit, eat healthily."
"I think this club is an excellent example of how communities can come together and get involved in their local projects. Hopefully, with the introduction of future programmes, such as this one, we can see higher numbers of people engaging in a variety of sporting activities."
