Christmas Big Give
Dear Community, It’s that time of year again! Carney’s Community has been chosen to participate in The Big Give Christmas Campaign. With your help we can raise £20,000 for our Mentoring through Boxing Project. Donations to this campaign will enable our 6 days a week of free boxing sessions to continue, where through boxing our coaches teach discipline, perseverance and provide a safe space for young people facing challenges in their lives. Donations through The Big Give will be matched for 7 days from midday 3rd to 10th December.‘One donation, twice the impact.’What happens during the campaign?
