Carney’s Community is a charity targeting disadvantaged groups, using a combination of boxing and long term, consistent, unconditional support. Activities include free boxing fitness, training for disadvantaged people to become coaches or PTs, the Fit & Fed programme, cooking classes, youth clubs, bike maintenance, motivational discussions, and even a goodwill based “Key Work” scheme providing unconditional help to those most in need. Many activities were adapted during the pandemic, including virtual boxing classes, delivering ingredients for online cooking, or delivering 5,000 meals.
