October Newsletter

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! We were all celebrating on 6th September when we watched participant, Marcus Perrineau Daley win a silver medal in the 100-metre wheelchair sprint, in his first ever Paralympics (being pipped at the post by the current world record holder). Marcus first came to Carney’s a few months after breaking his back in a motorbike accident. He immediately excelled in boxing and achieved his personal training qualification with us. We then introduced him to Paralympic superstar, David Weir, which led to him training with him and entering […]

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.

Big Give Campaign

Dear Community, Announcement: Big Give Campaign Not only has Carney’s Community been selected again to participate in the Big Give Champions for Children Campaign, but our fundraising target is also the biggest we’ve ever had! If you’ve been following our newsletters and seen a copy of our impact report available here: https://carneyscommunity.org/impact-report/ then you’ll know we’ve been developing our key work. Our key work has been transformational in the lives of the young people we support and we want to be able to keep providing this vital support so our Big Give Campaign this summer will go directly to our Key Work project, which we’ve called “Turning Lives Around”. Our Champions for Children Campaign Target is a whopping £30,000! For two weeks from 4th June at 12pm to 18th June at 12pm every donation to the campaign will be matched until we reach our target. One donation, twice the impact. What happens during the campaign? Donations made […]

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 […]

April Newsletter

We would like to welcome our newest member of the team, Mark who is a full-time key worker and with him as a new addition, our capacity to offer key work support to participants has increased massively. We had a very busy Easter holiday period, with a variety of activities, such as our usual boxing sessions, cooking and a games day. For our cookery workshop, we were lucky enough to have Folk living lend us their community kitchen where we took a group of 15 young people to learn to prepare and cook meals from all over the world including Italy, America, India, Mexico and France. Congratulations to our Head Coach, Giz, who won coach of the year at Enable’s Active Wandsworth Awards in March.  He beat a number of other strong contenders and was awarded the prize due to the hundreds of boxing fitness sessions he has run in the […]

February Newsletter

We were devastated to hear that one of our participants and volunteers, Josh, sadly lost his life in November. He was one of the most kind hearted people we ever met. Always sticking up for people that got bullied; always happy to see you; always keen to help and give support. A family man, with a strong set of morals who would do anything for those close to him. A big motivation and inspiration to why we set up Carney’s and integral to both building and shaping what we do.  Not to mention the amount of volunteering he did with things like our boxing shows, events and clearing out the building when we first got it. Loved by many, he will be missed and will continue to inspire. We would like to say a big thankyou to Maria’s Fish and Kebab shop for supporting Carney’s, who have now provided over 60 meals for […]
