Over 100 young men came together at Lisnasharragh Leisure Centre Belfast on International Men’s Day to try boxing and have a positive mental health discussion with providers “Just Chat”.
Schools from across the city were shown the fundamentals of boxing by our community coaches Brendan Irvine and Patrick Gallagher and coaches from some Belfast clubs. They then moved on to have a talk on positive mental health and coping mechanisms with East Belfast’s ‘Just Chat’ charity. Each participant was awarded with a medal, T-shirt and certificate of participation.
Lisnasharragh LC was kindly donated by GLL to help host the day. This was a great day organised and lead by our two excellent community boxing coaches.
This was in partnership with Belfast City Council and Belfast Boxing Strategy🥊
