We are Cross-fitters from Strong, Confident & Kind in Kingswood.

Our local box is a great place to work out, with caring and encouraging coaches who passionately believe 'we can'.

However, these trainers lead double lives...!

During the daytime, our 'box' is 'Ignite UK' charity who passionately believes in the power of relationships to support young people to reach their full potential.

While working out it is impossible not to notice the huge positive difference that Ignite has on the young people it supports.

Ignite is a charity who's vision is clear: to provide tailor-made support for young people.

They believe that through effective relationships with adults, young people can reach their full potential whatever their starting point.

They facilitate positive and structured mentoring and learning activities which support young people to progress with all the skills they need for life. A big part of learning with Ignite is helping young people to understand what they can do and what skills that already have in their grasp.

They are adamant that the young people they work with get one to one support from a positive and experienced mentor in an environment where the young person can feel nurtured and safe. They are encouraged to better themselves and help others around them. They create a culture where it is safe to try and this has allowed them to attain positive outcomes for more than 1000 people in the last two years alone.

Their work supports young people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Life sometimes throws all of us 'curve balls'. Ignite are there to help young people to recover, reflect, and refresh themselves. They want them to be optimistic and prepared for a positive future.

We are running the Bristol 10K to support Ignite and provide them with some extra funds to do their incredible work and support even more young people with their mission.

While we are fit, many of us have never run more than 5K, so it will still be quite the challenge!

We hope you will give generously or share so we too can 'ignite' change for young people in our local area!
