Our very own coach Jim at the Active Cornwall Parkinson’s day in Bodmin a few months ago. It’s amazing to see a few of our members in attendance and supporting the Parky Blinders Boxing Project and spreading the word.

🎉🥊 Celebrating 3 Years of the Parky Blinders Boxing Project in Newquay, Cornwall! 🥊🎉

We’re thrilled to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of this fantastic community initiative, right here where it all began. Since starting with just six blinders, our project has blossomed into a vibrant and supportive community. It was truly heartwarming to see both some of our original blinders and new faces join us to celebrate this special occasion.

A very special THANK YOU to Susan from Cake Corner 42 for designing a stunning anniversary cake and generously donating to the Parky Blinders Boxing Project! Your creativity and support made our celebration truly memorable. 🎂🙏

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Heart and Soul for hosting our anniversary event with such warmth and hospitality. 💖

Thank you to Joff for his wonderful speech and for being one of the original six blinders. Your words and dedication continue to inspire us all!

A huge thank you to our amazing boxing coaches, Jim, Tom, and Rich, for guiding and inspiring us every step of the way. Your commitment and expertise have made a profound impact on our journey. 🥊👏

Here’s to many more years of camaraderie and support! 💪❤️ Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that we are now an official CIC (Community Interest Company) called the Parky Blinder Boxing Project! 🎉

Let's keep fighting together in Newquay and beyond!
