Taichi for Health & Wellbeing
funded by Sport England
Thank you from all my heart - I saw an improvement in my health and based on my personal experience and think that projects like these are the best investment in national health
Dan
Women-only Self-Defence / Kickfit / Martial Arts
funded by Sport England
I have gained more confidence in myself and I've been motivated to get more active at home. I have learnt new techniques for self defence which are also really important for a young woman like me in the area.Thank you so much for everything you do and for allowing people from similar backgrounds like mine to partake in opportunities I would otherwise not be able to.

Martial Arts for Kids
Enfield Council Funded
This programme mattered to me so my son can work on his social skills in settings outside of school and at home. It also was important for him to learn discipline and get used to listening touting adult led activities. The first week was hard for him due to his anxiety however the second week was much better and he felt much more confident in participating
