Dear Community,  Today our Fundraising Campaign launches and we’re aiming to raise £30,000 to help keep youth club running for the young people who rely on it each week.

Dear Community, We’ve had an amazing summer full of events, new projects, and exciting building upgrades. As we head into the next few months, we are focused on strengthening our community and creating more opportunities. Thank you for your continued support! On 26th July we launched “Carney’s Cycles” our newest social enterprise. Our Bike Workshop has been transformed into a shop open to the public every Saturday from 10am to 2pm. It is staffed by our trained young people and our qualified mechanics. Carney’s participants who complete our 5-week bike mechanics course can apply to be part of the Saturday shop as a “Junior Mechanic”. Giving each of them invaluable work experience and their first paid job. Our launch was a huge success, with the Mayor of Wandsworth officially opening the shop with a ribbon cutting and a video and article in the SW Londoner:https://www.swlondoner.co.uk/news/21082025-watch-the-charity-owned-carneys-cycles-supporting-wandsworth-youth. Thank you to everyone who came.

On the 2nd March we held another Fitzroy Lodge Amateur Boxing Club open boxing show. We saw some great performances, including our very own Timothy, making his debut and winning with a second round stoppage. The boxing was so good, that it was covered in March’s Boxing News.

Some will be joining us for paid work experience and others plan to go onto their personal training qualification.   Cyprian was welcomed back to the Wimbledon Foundation, following his last appearance, as the person who did the coin toss for the men’s final last year. He got up and presented to 250 guests, at their annual reception. […]

We are grateful to our neighbours at Battersea Place who have been fundraising for us all year.  This was demonstrated by the art and photography exhibition we put on together, featuring some amazing pieces of work.  It was a great event, and we were proud of all our volunteers on the day. Over the 6 weeks holidays we have been running extra sessions and will be running 2 weeklong boot camps.  One is the Boxer’s Toolkit (females only), which was developed by our lead coach, Giz.  It is a program that teaches transferrable skills, through the medium of boxing.  It has already been tried and tested with schools, including two Pupil Referral Units and this Summer we are focusing it on our female participants.  The other was the Week of the Warrior, where we run a weeklong program that involves a variety of sport and martial arts. Whilst we have the […]
