An award-winning 'OZ-BOX' sessions are coming to Eckington, and we are pleased to invite you and your children to this fantastic initiative. What is OzBox?The OzBox scheme involves sessions of non-contact boxing and fitness training. The sessions are about having fun but they also teach young people to take pride in themselves and in their community. It was set up in Chesterfield in 2003 by Steve Osbaldeston MBE, a police officer, to encourage young people to keep fit and lead healthy lifestyles to help stop them getting involved in anti-social behaviour and crime. Such was the demand and success of the scheme, OzBox sessions are now held across the county. OzBox is delivered by more than 300 trained volunteers including police officers, PCSOs, youth workers, students, fire fighters and members of the community. All the equipment is provided and the sessions are FREE for all young people.It is recognised and supported by the Amateur Boxing Association of England (ABAE). Country Crop, a local business, donates fruit which is available at the sessions. The success of the OzBox scheme has been nationally recognised. OzBox was voted as the winner of the Daily Mirror People's Award at the 2009 Justice Awards.Please note: Youngsters would have to fill out consent forms on the first day unless they are 16 and above which then don't have to.There will be teachers/coaches who will be running the session (both first aid trained, DBS checked, safeguard checked) but it's up to parents if they would like to stay until the end of each session.

Eckington Friday Market is run and supported by Eckington Parish Council. Market opening hours are between 9am - 2pm. If you would like to know more about the market, follow this link: https://www.eckington-pc.gov.uk/markets1
