We have to say a big thanks to one of the Carney’s Community great volunteers. Zane Irvine got involved with Carney’s Community by volunteering at our Friday evening boxing session, at Earlsfield ABC. During these sessions he helped to teach boxing fitness techniques and mentored a number of our participants. Zane then went on to challenge himself into getting into the Marines. Unsurprisingly, to us, his commitment paid off and achieving this, in itself, helped to demonstrate to our other participants that if you work hard enough at something, no matter how challenging it is, it will pay off.

George Turner, along with three Carney’s Community members, joined the panel for the “Boxing: I Prevent a Riot” debate at the channel 4 studios. This event was staged by Channel 4 and the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Boxing to discuss some of the issues that will be raised in a forthcoming documentary about boxing called “Knockout Scousers”.

A group of Carney’s Community’s members appear in the feature film ‘Offender’. The film was written with the collaboration and consultation of Carney’s Community, specifically, Cyle Carth.

Carney’s Community young people participated in a work shop that attempted to break down the barriers between police and young people, as a response to the London riots. Throughout the workshop is was clear that our members felt frustrated from previous interactions with the police. However, they raised very valid points and challenged in a positive and constructive manner.
