Port Talbot boxing project benefits from Mentor support

Sandfields and Baglan Boxing Club have been successful in gaining a sported. Mentor to support the development of its business and marketing plans.

It's a very exciting time for sported. in Wales, with our first mentored project recently completing the development of their plans and receiving a significant amount of sported. funding to aid the project in changing young lives through sport.

Over the next few weeks sported. will be holding the initial planning meetings with Sandfields and Baglan Boxing Club, so keep an eye on the Wales page of the sported. website and visit the Supported Projects area to get an overview of the work that we are doing with this Member and others.

The club support young people from the Port Talbot area, many of whom come from highly disadvantaged communities. The project has close links with the local police and makes a great impact in countering antisocial behaviour and crime in the area.

Richard Thomas, Wales Manager for sported. said "I am really excited by the work of Sandfields and Baglan Boxing Club. The club is already doing fantastic things and we are looking forward to building on the sport for development work they do with a huge variety of young people from disadvantaged communities to ensure the project has a sustainable future for the benefit of local young people."
