Carney’s Newsletter – March 2025

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. Giz ran another girls only Boxers ToolKit over the half term, with a great turn out of the Carney’s young women. In partnership with Performance Plus and Inclusive Futures, we delivered another successful Gym instructor level 2 course, with all 9 attendees qualifying. 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 excited to welcome Michael Petiafo to our team as our new Lead Youth Worker, who brings a wealth of experience in supporting young people to thrive and reach their full potential. Please do come in and say hello! After a busy Summer Holiday, we now have our regular participants attending the weekly boxing and youth club sessions, which have been as busy as ever!

August Newsletter

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 […]

A Huge Thank You!!

Thank you! To everyone who donated and shared our Big Give Campaign, thank you. Our target was the biggest we’ve ever had and yet with your support we did it! We raised a total of £31,520 plus £3,802.50 in Gift Aid! Your support will mean that young people, many of whom have faced huge challenges growing up, will be given the support of a key worker who will work alongside them to help them achieve their goals. For our young people this may mean getting into work or education or to get to a good place with their mental and physical health. Because of your donations we can see transformative change in the lives of our young people. From everyone at Carney’s Community, thank you.

Ride London Fundraiser

Can you help? Ride London is Sunday 26th May up and five cyclists are taking on the 60-mile challenge to raise money for Carney’s Community. This includes our own COO, Hannah Tulloch, and Administrator, Aaron Grew. When asked why she’s cycling Hannah said: “In June 2023 I started working for Carney’s Community. I have been so incredibly impressed by the work done here, the commitment of staff to support young people going through incredible challenges and the inspiration of those that have turned their lives around and are making a positive difference in the world. Carney’s is all about the long term, supporting young people through boxing, youth activities, bike workshops, skills training and a lot of intensive mentoring and one to one support. If cycling 60 miles will help reach that aim, then I think I can manage the muscle aches after!” They’re aiming to raise an amazing £5,000 and we […]
