Lions Den Boxing - Police Diversion

Lions Den Boxing, Heanor and Heanor Police SNT have been working on collaboration since August 2025 at diverting young people involved in crime/ASB into boxing, channelling negative behaviours into a positive, controlled environment, transforming the lives as a result - ultimately reducing the risk of harm to those young people. 

Sam Goodrum is continuing to work tirelessly to provide the training, time and space to these young people, which in already, 6 months, is showing amazing results, comparing Aug-Dec 2025 to Aug-Dec 2024 there has been a 34% decrease in anti-social behaviour in Heanor!!

Keep up the good work to all the youths involved, and a huge thank you to the Lions Den, Heanor for their continued efforts.
