Coventry Boys and Girls Club have been providing activities for children and young people since 1935 and had a permanent in the heart of Coventry from the 1960’s. the focus of our work is to provide affordable, accessible high-quality sports and activities for those living in the most deprived communities. Our work is focused on bring young people together from all over Coventry and building relationships between these young people where normally postcode rivalry would exist. By bringing the children to our centre we are taking them out of their communities into a neutral venue where children can be children. Our service and provision are also aimed at keeping children and young people off the street where otherwise they may engage in crime or be exploited by gangs. We know from our long history that if young people are engaged in regular activities they are less likely to be engaged in the above. We also know there is a pandemic currently where many young people in the poorer neighbourhoods are being recruited by gangs to run drugs for easy money. On top of this young people are a major source of anti-social behaviour and due to lack of opportunities and services are bored in their local community and thus why they cause ASB. Through all our provision we work with children and young people on the mental health, and this is done by monitoring them and where we see issues we address them. CBGC also have a specific boxing section which is registered to England Boxing and provide social and competitive boxing for girl’s boys and adults. This is overseen by our head boxing coach and a team of volunteers who provide this provision three evenings per week.
