Tamworth ABC is a community based club open to all in the community.
We provide an alternative education programme for young people that achieve more working outside the school environment. We also provide education to pupils that have been permanently excluded from school or at risk at being excluded from school.
Why the community needs usOur project supports the local community by supporting the most vulnerable children. If a young person has their education taken away from them, for whatever reason what prospects do they have? We give young people that second chance and by providing a community club where everyone is working together to create the best possible opportunities for positive futures. A place where every person achieves to the absolute best of their ability and confidence to be creative and be encouraged to develop.
Our impact on the communityLast year we delivered 115 GCSEs to pupils that perform better outside the traditional school environment. On the boxing front our highest achiever was Ryan Hatton who won a Gold medal in the 3 Nations. Due to a constant growing membership we are now in the process of moving to bigger venue which is situated in the town centre which will give better access to even more people.
