George Turner and Carney’s Community participants were interviewed earlier this week by BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat’s Ben Mundy ahead of Saturday night’s Mayweather v Pacquiao fight.

Carney’s Community’s latest boxing session is a free ladies only box-fit session running on Tuesday evenings from 5.30pm to 7.30pm from 5 May. The sessions are non-contact and focus on fitness and fun using boxing skills. They are open to all young ladies aged between 11 and 25, whether a complete beginner or seasoned pro.

Carney’s Community featured in a recent report by Beyond Youth Custody as a best practice organisation for a way to engage and help members of gangs and gang crime.

London’s Evening Standard has recognised the work of Carney’s Community with a double page spread interview with “remarkable mentor” George Turner.

The Secretary of State for Justice, Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP, heard about the work of Carney’s Community when he met George Turner and former CC participant Danny at an induction and training session for new Blue Sky recruits.

Tom Davies is attempting to become the youngest person to cycle round the world. His entire route is over 18,000 miles and includes 17 countries and four continents.
