The Bulldogs has been formed to use the power of boxing as a
tool to give the next generation of young people from Port Talbot and it’s
surrounding areas a fighting chance in life. We have been honed by the fact
that many of our staff and volunteers have had a tremendous amount out of
sport. It is not just about boxing – we have competition sport and a ‘train like
a fighter without the fight’ programme for those who do not want contact.
We believe it is now our chance to create something special
for the next generation that not only provides a sporting context but also
changes them as young people on their road to adulthood. As a partner of the
Fight for Peace Global Alumni Partnership we have developed a 5 Pillar
methodology that provides a mix and match programme suitable for all.
Using boxing and fitness as a hook to engage the 5 pillars
are made up of:
1) Personal Development
2) Mentoring
3) Education /
Employment
4) Boxing / Fitness
5) Community / Volunteering
These Pillars are an adaption of the proven "Fight for Peace" methodology. We have adapted their model to suit our community and the problems
associated with Port Talbot. The theory being if it works in areas such as the
Favelas in Rio, London and
Belfast then it will work in our area.
