🎉🥊 Celebrating 3 Years of the Parky Blinders Boxing Project in Newquay, Cornwall! 🥊🎉

We’re thrilled to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of this fantastic community initiative, right here where it all began. Since starting with just six blinders, our project has blossomed into a vibrant and supportive community. It was truly heartwarming to see both some of our original blinders and new faces join us to celebrate this special occasion.

A very special THANK YOU to Susan from Cake Corner 42 for designing a stunning anniversary cake and generously donating to the Parky Blinders Boxing Project! Your creativity and support made our celebration truly memorable. 🎂🙏

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Heart and Soul for hosting our anniversary event with such warmth and hospitality. 💖

Thank you to Joff for his wonderful speech and for being one of the original six blinders. Your words and dedication continue to inspire us all!

A huge thank you to our amazing boxing coaches, Jim, Tom, and Rich, for guiding and inspiring us every step of the way. Your commitment and expertise have made a profound impact on our journey. 🥊👏

Here’s to many more years of camaraderie and support! 💪❤️ Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that we are now an official CIC (Community Interest Company) called the Parky Blinder Boxing Project! 🎉

Let's keep fighting together in Newquay and beyond!

✨ It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our achievements in 2024 and share our exciting plans for the Parky Blinders Boxing Project in 2025.

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from BBC Cornwall, especially since we won the BBC Make A Difference award for Community Project of the Year in 2024. 🏆

Here are some of the milestones we aim to achieve in 2025

🔹 Establishing a Community Interest Company (CIC) for the Parky Blinders Boxing Project.

🔹 Launching "In Your Corner," a new community project dedicated to supporting mental health and well-being.

🔹 Relaunching our "Only Vets and Forces" project, focused on supporting former and current armed forces members with mental health through the power of boxing and socializing.

🔹 Expanding our Parky Blinders sessions across Cornwall and Devon.

🔹 Co-delivering the England Boxing Coaching People with Parkinson’s Course nationwide.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been involved with the Parky Blinders Project so far. Your support and dedication make all the difference. 💪❤️

Stay tuned for more updates, and let's continue making a positive impact together!
