OzBox sessions launch in Spondon

A new police initiative to engage young people in the Spondon area has launched at Spondon Village Hall

Ozbox sessions, featuring non-contact boxing training, will take place on Wednesday evenings at the Village Hall from 5.15 to 6.15.

The Neighbourhood Board have financed the hall and the police are staffing the event. This allows the Police to engage with the young community of Spondon and show them that they are not nasty, but willing to help the young people to be neighbourly.

OzBox sessions can be booked in four week blocks or one-off taster sessions. For more information please contact the OzBox team on 01246 522304 or via [email protected]

The team are also looking for members of the community to become involved as trainers for the event as we want the whole of the community to be involved. For further details on volunteering, contact Derbyshire County Council’s Volunteer Passport Scheme co-ordinator,l Claire Austin, on 01629 532053 or email [email protected].

More information on the scheme is available by downloading the leaflet below.
