By accessing extra funds, Adam has been able to take part in a range of new opportunities.
Funding from the University transformed my experience. I’m more confident and am excited about taking on new challenges.
My name is Adam. I’m studying Social Policy and I love it. My parents didn’t go to university, so it’s a big deal for me. I’ve been able to access extra money from the Opportunities Fund from the University, which allows me to throw myself into the Boxing Society. This has transformed my university experience.
Through joining boxing I’ve grown so much in confidence. I’m meeting new people, learning new skills. Now I’m planning my Study Abroad Year in Australia – which is something I never thought I’d say! When I graduate, I’d like to join the Civil Service Fast Track.

Unleash your passion
Boxing has given me the confidence to tackle anything. I’ve even applied to study abroad next year in Australia – something I never thought I’d do.
