📣 The Ways We Win Survey

Calling all readers of this page! Unsurprisingly....our responses so far are mainly from women, so if that isn't you, we'd love to hear from you 🙌

Ryan wants to hear about your experiences of sport and exercise growing up, whether you've got memories of PE lessons or a lifetime of sport behind you

At NPBA, we believe sport and physical activity should work for every neurodivergent young person, and the more voices we hear, the further we can spread what we learn.

This project is led by coach Ryan Wilkinson and supported by UK Youth and The Young Foundation 💡

🥊 SPEED PADS WORKSHOP - only 6 places left!

Starting next Wednesday, here's what one of our last participants had to say:

"Speed pads was brilliant! It eases you in gently, but before long you're throwing multiple combos and feeling like a proper boxer. The atmosphere is super friendly and there's no pressure at all to work at anything other than your own pace. A great workout for fitness and boxing skills alike.. and a lot of laughs along the way. Strongly recommend!"
