The Kenilworth Centre – Introduction to Kickboxing

Organisation: The Kenilworth Centre

The project ran across the two courses, and successfully engaged young people who had been identified through youth provision, schools and counselling services as being socially isolated. By offering free and subsidised places, barriers linked to cost were removed, enabling participation from those least likely to access structured physical activity.

Participants developed confidence not only in their physical ability but also in social settings. Some young people progressed into informal peer-mentoring roles, supporting newer participants and helping lead sessions.
