On 5th July, something incredible is happening.

One of our residents is stepping into the boxing ring—not just to compete, but to give back to The Salvation Army (TSA), the organisation that is currently supporting him through homelessness.

While residing in one of our centres, staff encouraged him to try boxing to support his mental and physical wellbeing. That small invitation changed everything.

Boxing became more than just a hobby—it became a passion. It gave him focus, confidence, and strength. And now, thanks to his hard work and determination, he’s been selected to take part in a charity boxing match and wants to raise funds for TSA.

Now he’s fighting—for others.

His goal? To raise £1,000 to support those on the journey he knows all too well.

💪 Let’s help him hit that target. Every donation, big or small, brings him closer to making a difference.

Your support means the world—to him, and to the many others who will benefit from the life-changing work of TSA.

Let’s get behind him as he steps into the ring with purpose, pride, and passion.

Thank you for your support.
