Hi my name is Philip

​Pop Haywood is more than a coach—he’s a mentor who has spent years keeping Sheffield’s youth off the streets and in the gym. From championing school bleed kits to mentoring at-risk kids, Pop’s mission has always been about saving lives through sport.

​Now, Pop is opening a brand-new facility to expand this work, and he needs the community’s help to turn this empty space into a world-class sanctuary.

​The Goal

​A gym is only as strong as its equipment. We are raising funds to kit out the new space with:

​Safety Gear: Gloves, headguards, and pads for youth classes.

​Training Tools: Heavy bags, speedballs, and floor mats.

​Strength Equipment: Weights and benches for community fitness.

​Why It Matters

​In a time when youth services are disappearing and street safety is a major concern, Pop’s gym provides a safe haven, discipline, and a sense of family. Every pound donated goes directly toward equipment that will serve the next generation of Sheffield.

​Let’s help Pop build a legacy. Every donation counts.
