Story
I was brought up in the 80’s / 90’s and was very impressed to see boxers like Frank Bruno and Rocky Balboa become champions!
30 years later I am even more impressed to hear Frank being so open and honest when talking about mental health challenges.
Frank and his fabulous team have a great new well-being centre opening in Northampton - just 1 mile away from where I was brought up in Weston Favell and 5 minutes from my work at Barclays. The centre will provide support and encouragement and the motivation to succeed for those facing and recovering from mental ill-health - through providing opportunities to participate in a wellbeing and non-contact boxing programme, supported by a need led wraparound service.
The Frank Bruno Foundation directly supports participants in building self-esteem, confidence, resilience and discipline and in applying such skills to their daily lives.
