Small Changes, big impact: Supporting mental wellbeing in your business 19/06/2026

A few weeks ago, I was asked to be a panellist from Business Gateway on a mental health webinar.

You know how much a hate anything to do with the camera and my anxiety is horrendous during anything like this.

***CHILDREN AND YOUTH GROUPS***

Due to the overwhelming responses (none) 😂.

We’ve decided this will be our last week of these sessions for the holidays.

We may look to put on one of sessions to catch up etc but as it stands all groups are off until after the summer holidays.

Enjoy the break! 😊

TUESDAY TANNED.

Box n’ blether smashed this morning. A nice workout and a wee vent with a cuppa and a biscuit. What better way to improve your mental health.

A stacked boxing fitness session with a slug fest in that sweat box. Fantastic effort from the team.

Amatuer boxing - boxing specifics. Great technical work finished with some body sparring.

Tremendous day!
