Our 12 rounds project is designed to help support adults on probation to build up the confidence, character and network to be successful and live a life free of crime. Participants will be referred from a range of services from Wigan, Leigh and across Greater Manchester. If accepted on the they will take part in a 12-week program where they will attend Norley Hall Community Centre on Thursdays once a week for 1.5 hours (1:30 - 15:00). Each session will involve a 1 hour boxing session and a 20 minute guided reflection where the group will be encouraged to reflect on their week, and plan positively for the week ahead.

Any one who attends 8 or more sessions will be assessed for the preliminary boxing award which is an accredited award that can be used towards GCSE, D of E and Btec if successful they will receive a medal and certificate. Anyone who attends 10 or more sessions will be invited to take part in our group challenge, a full day hike in Rivington on a Saturday or Sunday date to be confirmed.

We will also be looking to work with individuals to address specific issues like financial planning, building a business, healthy eating, building a positive network etc. To support this we will be looking to forge relationships with employers who would be willing to employ staff who have a criminal record and look to signpost participants towards these employment opportunities.

Before referring a client, please read the program info and then send a completed referral form to info@boxingforbetter.co.uk at least 2 weeks before the start date of  a block.
