Box Smart

Quick Summary

Box Smart’ is a collaborative approach with Orchard Park Neighbourhood Policing Team to reduce instances of youth antisocial behaviour on the Orchard Park estate. It is a new project, which will achieve its objective through using boxing participation to equip children and young people with new behaviours that inspire a positive mindset and stimulate goals for the future.

Across a one-year period, ‘Box Smart’ will deliver three, ninety-minute sessions each week from the Wellbeing Facility on Orchard Park Road. One session on a Wednesday evening will be for children aged ten to twelve (years six and seven), with one for young people aged twelve to fourteen (years eight and nine) on a Thursday, and a third for young people aged fourteen to sixteen (years ten and eleven) on a Friday. All sessions will be delivered between 6.30pm and 8pm.
