Union Thai goes from strength to strength with new kick and strike mats

We’re pleased to announce we’re further supporting Union Thai with funding for handheld kick and strike mats so they can continue to provide the best training for their students and their students can safely continue to enhance their skills.

Back in September 2022, we supported Union Thai with funding towards an MMA cage and wall mats and they have since grown from 50 members to over 100 members, offering fitness classes to all ages and abilities within the local community.

Specialising in Muay Thai and Ju Jitsu, the Mixed Martial Arts Club have competed in National, European and International competitions, achieving British, European and World Championship status. Run by Marcos Lopes Guimaraes, the club aims to help their members with both their mental and physical health, encouraging confidence and teamwork.

We wish Union Thai continued success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.

If you are part of an amazing sport or leisure team and would like to apply for up to £500 of funding, we are taking applications for awarding in May 2024.
