Scrappers gym is a truly unique place, for the past 18 months or so scrappers and head coach Paul Rogers has given myself and a few other disability sports coaches the facilities and support to be able to deliver inclusive boxing sessions to a growing number of people that wouldn't normally have the opportunity or courage to enter a boxing gym. With support from Paul, Alan and other coaches along with a number of brilliant volunteers we are able to offer free boxing / fitness sessions for people with anxiety and mental health issues, autism, learning difficulties, downs and any number of physical disabilities. Also it has encouraged me at the age of 43 to use boxing to regain some fitness and it's been a pleasure to train in a gym void of ego. Will just end by saying thank you scrappers! DEAN HOWELLS
