Partnership with Weapons Down Wirral CIC
The Elle Edwards Foundation is proud to support organisations that are making a genuine difference in the lives of young people and helping to create safer communities.
Recently, our founder, Tim Edwards, met with Andrew Groom, founder of Weapons Down Wirral CIC and Argyle Community Fitness in Birkenhead. Andrew invited Tim to visit the centre and see first-hand the incredible work being carried out to support local young people through boxing, fitness, mentorship and community engagement.

What Tim witnessed was far more than a gym. He saw a safe and positive environment where young people are encouraged to develop confidence, discipline, respect and resilience. Through sport and mentorship, the team at Weapons Down Wirral CIC is helping young people navigate the challenges they face while providing opportunities that can steer them away from crime and towards a brighter future.
After spending time with Andrew, learning about his background and seeing the impact the organisation is having within the local community, Tim knew immediately that this was a cause closely aligned with the mission and values of the Elle Edwards Foundation.
As a result, the Foundation has made a donation to Weapons Down Wirral CIC to help ensure that free sessions for young people can continue to be delivered every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. These sessions provide a vital service, offering young people a positive outlet, trusted role models and a supportive environment in which they can grow and thrive.
The Elle Edwards Foundation is honoured to play a small part in supporting the outstanding work being carried out by Andrew and his team. We look forward to building on this partnership and providing further support whenever and wherever we can.
Together, we can help create opportunities, inspire positive choices and give young people the support they need to reach their full potential.
