Fighting Spirit CIC was founded by Gwen Richards following the discovery that non-contact boxing fitness training had a positive impact on her mental health and enabled her to take control of her mind and thoughts; subsequently making a full recovery from depression. Realising the benefits, Gwen started working within the community running sessions for all age groups, to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. From this, ‘Fighting Talk’ sessions developed and combining these with the boxing training, Gwen now helps individuals, companies and organisations with mental health awareness. We all have mental health; our mission is to help others take care of it and offer support for isolation, stress, anxiety and low mood. We plan to build a community of like minds, encourage people to talk to each other and show there are many people feeling the same way who understand.
