What did previous participants think?
“Succeeding at Stand Tall gave me confidence; it gave me the confidence to get a job. I found I enjoy meeting and talking to people, I’m not sat at home any more, I have a social life! I still get nervous when I do new things but at the same time I’m excited, pushing forwards is the only way to go.”

When asked about what part of the programme she felt has helped make these changes Jess replied,
“Both bits, the boxing and the wellbeing, but the wellbeing but made me think about myself. Eating healthier, and more regularly I even stopped smoking for a period, and I want to stop smoking for good” Jess’s mother could see the difference too, “Jess has energy, is definitely more confident, active, committed to something for the first time.” Jess agrees, “I feel better, I don’t sit watching TV as much, I feel more confident.”
