Unorthobox - The impact of Mixed Ability boxing
We were really pleased to be involved with a LeedsACTS-funded project to explore the impacts of Mixed Ability boxing. LeedsACTS is a partnership between the voluntary sector and Universities and so this project brings us together with the University of Leeds and the amazing Community Interest Company, Unorthobox.
The research involved interviews, focus groups and reflective diaries with a range of stakeholders including disabled and non-disabled deliverers of sport, participants and volunteers who have experience of Mixed Ability boxing. We particularly focused on the impacts of being involved on individuals, clubs and organisations, in order that Unorthobox could build an evidence base to attract further participants and funding. The research resulted in an accessible and concise summary that Unorthobox are using to promote their activities.
