Chelmsford Boys Club

General information

The clubs we support provide fantastic (and mainly generously volunteered) safe environments for young people to gather, away from threats of drugs, alcohol & crime. We believe in the positive impact that adventurous activities, sports and arts can have on young people, so we take equipment and professional coaches to clubs, arrange inter- and outer- club competitions and organise adventure courses.

Our activities are designed to build life skills and develop character in preparation for adulthood, citizenship and employment. Self-esteem, teamwork, problem-solving, courage, self-awareness and empathy are but a few of the positive effects of our range of activities on the young people we work with.

Young people can benefit from a wide variety of opportunities offered through EBGC, such as:

> Adventure days and camps at our large residential activity centre, Stubbers, in East London.
> Adventure camps at our small residential activity centre, High Row, in the Lake District.
> International expeditions
> International exchanges.
> Boxing training sessions at clubs, inter- and outer- club championships, with the support of the Amateur Boxing Association.
> Rugby League training at clubs, with the support of Rugby Football League.
> Football cage sessions at clubs, inter-club 5-a-side tournaments, organised matches against public schools as the EBGC Rep. Football team.
> Cricket and Kwik Cricket sessions at clubs, inter-club matches, organised matches against public schools as the EBGC Rep. Cricket team.
