Community
The Bulldogs is a partnership between
lead body Bulldogs Boxing & Community Activities and Port Talbot Boxing
Club. Together we are stronger, the Charity delivers the Bulldogs 5 Pillar
Programme whilst the boxing club delivers boxing as a competitive sport. Our
aim is to create Champions in the Ring and Champions in the Community through
harnessing the tools of boxing within a platform of change methodology where we
create change in ‘How a young person
perceives themselves and of how others perceive them.
The Charity delivers daytime activities focussed around The 5 Pillars which is a ‘mix and match’ Personal Development Pathway leading to tailored achievments. Our main focus is to provide a Platform of Change for young people aged 7 – 30yrs but we work with all ages. The Bulldogs is totally inclusive and we are proud to work with all members of our community.
We work within a multiple partnership CoProduction approach within our Support Services Pillar. The Bulldogs does not replicate – we enhance partnerships creating very strong working relationships.
