A group of local women recently completed the S.T.E.P.S. To Excellence programme at Monkstown Boxing Club. This evidence-based personal development programme looks at topics such as  well-being, self-belief, confidence- building, motivation and goal-setting. It is designed to help people take control of their lives and unlock their potential. 100% of participants reported they felt better in their mental health as a result of the S.T.E.P.S programme and  7 participants from across have now gone on to apply for an access to university course with the open university.

Feedback from participants:

“I am setting new goals and working towards a new career.”

“I have a different outlook now on negative situations. I have more confidence in my ability and am setting goals and sticking to them.”

“I now have the tools to help control my anxiety and challenge my negative thoughts.”

“I have learned it’s okay to fail and try again, and how my negative thoughts have limited me- I am fabulous!”

“I have learned to focus and look after myself. The course has made me more confident and helped me to get out of my comfort zone”

 What a great achievement for all involved! #WECAN…achieve our goals
