I’m boxing in the White Collar Fight Club S35 to raise money for Football Journeys (FJ) - thank you for your support!!

Youth services have been decimated* but organisations like FJ are filling the gap, equipping young people with the skills, confidence and emotional support to step outside their comfort zone with purpose and a new sense of possibility for their future.

It’s a hard time for grassroots charities but they are really out there changing people’s lives. FJ is no exception. They do so much with very little, and seeing what they mean to the young people they work with is pure joy. I am so proud to be in their corner. Every donation will go towards helping FJ continue their key programmes: FJ Schools & FJ Ambassadors, supporting young people from age 13/14 right up to 18.
