New Bury Youth Panel spoke to @DeputyMayorofGM today about their experiences of local activities funded through the VRU.
They said that the activities gave them something to aim for and they would like to have access to more outdoor spaces for football and skate parks (1/3)
.@newburyboxing was set up in 2021 through the VRU’s community-led programme in New Bury, Bolton, as a direct response to feedback from the local community around crime and violence and lack of positive activities for young people.
The club has been building up slowly since then to create a sustainable boxing club with targeted activity sessions for young people based in New Bury and the surrounding areas.

“I get satisfaction from teaching young people life skills and watching them develop. We can teach them to be better people and projects like this one allow us to do that”
