Help Make a Life-Changing Impact: Join the Coaching People with Parkinson’s Course
October 31, 2025 | by Chris Boyd
England Boxing is proud to announce that it has secured £17,000 in funding to deliver the Coaching People with Parkinson’s course across regions – made possible thanks to the incredible support of Parkinson’s UK and a generous donation from Richard Longthorp of St Paul’s Boxing Club in Hull.
We’re now inviting coaches to register their interest in this transformative one-day, six-hour training course that equips you with the skills to make a real difference.
Please note: You will have to complete a short online pre-requisite course before the in-person course.
Why Get Involved?
This course gives you the tools to teach tailored boxing-based exercises that can significantly improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s. You’ll learn how to deliver sessions that focus on:
- Improving balance, strength, coordination, and flexibility
- Adapting your boxing knowledge to a range of participants
- Supporting physical independence and boosting overall well-being.
The benefits go beyond the physical, however. Exercise has a powerful effect on mental health. As a coach, you’ll not only improve lives physically, but also emotionally. You can also learn about new funding sources and how to transform your gym into a club for everyone.
