Growing Resilience in Teens (GRIT) supports young people to improve their mental health through group boxing programmes, workshops and one-to-one coaching.
- Founded by a GP, it has a close relationship with the NHS and operates in Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, and Shefford, supported by NHS seconded staff.
- At the core of their approach is their Four Corners Method, which employs a goal-oriented strategy integrating non-contact boxing, boxing metaphors, and coaching concepts.
- This method empowers young people to take control of their lives by encouraging personal responsibility and resilience and providing a safe outlet for emotional expression while promoting mental and physical wellbeing through exercise.
- Chimo has funded the CEO allowing this small but ambitious charity to move forward with the next phase of its development.
