As part of our year-long partnership with GB Boxing, young people supported by Roundabout having been getting active at the English Institute of Sport.

Since its establishment over 20 years ago, GB Boxing has gone on to train some of the biggest names in the sport, including Nicola Adams, Anthony Joshua and Amir Khan.

Now, thanks to a year-long charity partnership, youngsters supported by Roundabout are getting the opportunity to train with world class coaches in state of the art facilities, learning new skills and gaining in confidence.

“This is a great outlet for our young people to socialise, learn a new sport and maybe even expend a little of their energy,” said Roundabout Fundraising Officer Ben Allen.

GB Boxing’s athletes, coaches and staff have also taken part in a range of fundraising activities and community focused initiatives to support Roundabout, using sport and boxing to create new opportunities for young people in the region.

Emily Jones, Roundabout’s Fundraising Manager said: “The partnership with GB Boxing is an incredible opportunity for the young people we support.

“Through boxing and workshops, they will not only develop physical and mental strength but also gain a sense of discipline and self-worth that is essential in breaking the cycle of homelessness.”
