180 Project
In 2021, we awarded £27,000 towards a building refurbishment.
Organisation
180 Project runs a community recovery programme in Lancashire that aims to break the cycle of addition, crime, and prison to help rebuild lives whilst also aiming to reach those at risk of falling into this cycle as early as possible. It uses sport (CrossFit) combined with education, mentoring, life coaching and practical skill development to help participants recover from mental health issues and addiction. CrossFit is structured functional fitness that combines cardio, gymnastics, weightlifting and mobility.
REFURBISHMENT PROJECT
The charity was operating from a run-down unit that offered a gym facility. The premises required renovation to create the space for multiple groups to work-out at the same time, as well as a café and kitchen area to create a community setting. The Foundation awarded a grant of £27,000 towards the renovation, which covered the cost of the total budget.
