Following the recent launch of the Heart of Midlothian Education and Community Trust's HBOS Foundation funded adult literacy programme at The Spartans Academy last week, a new programme called Boxing Clever will be starting at Clovenstone Community Centre on Wednesday 11th February

Boxing Clever is a free ten week course for anyone aged 16 years and over and includes guest speakers sharing their boxing experiences and an opportunity for participants to share their own stories using photos and writing.

The course itself is also an opportunity to receive an SQA qualification in writing.

All participants will also be given the opportunity to hone their boxing skills with a special circuit training session each week, so what better way to get smart and fit at the same time.

Boxing Clever runs each Wednesday 5-7pm from the 11th February.

For more information on the course including how to get involved contact Soozin Rogers the Community Learning and Development worker at Clovenstone Community Centre on 0131 453 4561 or email susan.rogers2@ea.edin.sch.uk.
