A G Boxing provides boxercise and fitness classes for women in Derbyshire's DE21 ward – ranked 2nd for multiple deprivation and 1st for health inequalities. Founded by ex-boxer Autumn Goodwin, the club creates a safe, supportive community for women who face barriers to participation: caring responsibilities, time constraints, cost, and lack of confidence.
The club runs sessions at 6am to help women fit training around their caring responsibilities, offers reduced subs during hardship, and provides a WhatsApp group for motivation and social connection.
"Women face physical, social, cultural, economic and psychological barriers to fitness," Ms Goodwin explained.
"We've grown from zero to 60 regular participants. This grant will help us subsidise fees, provide more equipment, and expand sessions so we can reach more women in the biggest housing estate in Europe – addressing health inequalities and creating lasting habits for future generations."
The funding will support venue hire, volunteer training, equipment, and marketing.
