Sanjuro Martial Arts inclusion classes

Yesterday Jane and Ben from JC Dragon's Heart Europe visited the Bruce Grove Youth Centre to see the first of this term's Sanjuro Martial Arts inclusion classes.

While at the Centre, they got to catch up with the Sanjuro team and speak to a few of the students that recognized them from previous visits. Jane and Ben also joined a meeting with the Bruce Grove and Islington Youth team staff. They got to listen to and understand the considerations needed for helping young people affected by the pandemic, and other issues such as crime and unemployment. They were also told of individuals who faced similar challenges when growing up and have since had successful careers.

We proudly support all the effort and hard work that goes into youth centres in order for children and young adults to be able to spend time in a safe place, be listened to and have help provided when needed.

Monthly shop for Bruce Grove Youth Centre

We continued with our monthly shop for items to provide the Bruce Grove Youth Centre with food parcels to help families in the area.

Number of families: 80
Number of Children/Young People: 138
Number of Adults: 76

Sanjuro Martial Arts director, Anita Yiannnoullou said that what the above figures show is “how important the monthly food drop is for so many groups of people of all ages." Anita added that this is “essential and very much needed and appreciated as the team (at Bruce Grove Youth Centre) really do make sure they give to the most in need.”
