The ‘Fight Fit’ program, supported by over £12,000 in funding, is a unique initiative that provides free access to rigorous boxing training and a valuable social outlet for veterans. This program, spearheaded by the Clayton Amateur Boxing Club, aims to promote physical and mental wellbeing among its participants, while also fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

The program is fully-funded, with funding coming from a range of public bodies, charitable organisations, and public donations. The total funding totalled £12,072, with notable contributions from the Lancashire’s integrated care board (£5,000), the Lancashire Culture & Sport Fund (£4,973), the Duchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund (£1,750), and community donations (£348).

The ‘Fight Fit’ program offers a 50-week program for veterans, with each session lasting two hours.
