Exciting New Announcement: Criminal Connection Podcast Joins Forces with The Frank Bruno Foundation

We are thrilled to announce a ground breaking partnership that aims to bring hope, support, and positive change to the lives of many. Criminal Connection Podcast is joining forces with The Frank Bruno Foundation, a renowned charity dedicated to improving mental health and well-being.

About The Frank Bruno Foundation

Established in 2017, The Frank Bruno Foundation provides a safe environment for young people and older individuals with mental health issues. The foundation’s mission is to provide support, encouragement, and motivation for those currently facing or recovering from mental ill-health issues. They aim to achieve this by offering opportunities to participate in a wellbeing and non-contact boxing programme, supported by a need-led wrap-around service.

The foundation’s initiatives are designed to build self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and discipline in participants, helping them apply these skills to their daily lives. Additionally, the foundation campaigns to raise public awareness of mental ill health and aims to eliminate the stigma associated with it through social media platforms and charity ambassadors.

Round by Round Programme: This 12-week wellbeing and non-contact boxing programme is complemented by a need-led wrap-around support service. It is designed for anyone over the age of 13 and is available to residents in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Referrals can be made by professionals, friends, or through self-referral. In special cases, children as young as 10 can join following an early assessment-led intervention.

Stay in Work Programme: This initiative supports older individuals who are managing their mental health while continuing to work, ensuring they have the necessary tools and support to thrive in their professional lives.
