Friday, as part of the KnockOut Violence Project, Lee from Gloves Not Gangs and Danni from The Blades Down Foundation visited Woodlands Primary School in Ellesmere Port to run vital sessions with Year 5 & 6 Students. They tackled important topics such as knife crime, antisocial behaviour, gang culture, and county lines, empowering young people with the knowledge to make positive choices. 

 

Danni, who works at The Whitby High School, is able to take time away from the classroom as part of their community outreach, helping to educate primary school students about these tough but necessary issues. 

 

Lee spoke passionately to students about the power of making good choices and the consequences of negative ones, sharing how boxing and the core values of the Wirral CP Boxing Club help young people stay on the right path. 

 

These students were engaged, insightful, and open, sharing their own experiences and knowledge on these hard-hitting issues. 

 

Over the next few months, Danni & Lee will continue visiting more primary schools to extend these crucial conversations. They will also join students from The Whitby High School in delivering Bleed Control Kits to local primary schools.
