McLaren Teams Up With Martin Murray Academy To Arm Young People With Vital Life Skills

McLaren Construction and Miller Developments have announced a partnership with Martin Murray’s ThinkFAST academy to provide support and development for young people through the discipline and ethos of boxing.

Donating a total of £30,000 to the St. Helens-based Martin Murray Academy, we have joined forces to help hard-to-reach young people with high quality social support and development through the academy’s ThinkFAST programme.

The six-week programme, which is supported by schools and parents, involves offering guidance to students of the academy through the teaching of coping mechanisms, keep fit and boxing.

The ThinkFAST student benefits include working alongside boxing coaches as strong and inspiring role models, where they are taught fitness, teamwork, anger management and discipline skills, alongside how to improve concentration and confidence through positive engagement and empowerment.

Our Midlands and North division has a long-standing relationship with Martin Murray and he has supported the contractor with past charitable events such as the Broughton project, which in partnership with British Land, engaged in a successful initiative to help ex-offenders back into employment.

Miller Developments and McLaren have collaborated previously to deliver a joint venture project at OMEGA Warrington and through introductions, the partnership and opportunity to support the Martin Murray academy was formed.

McLaren Construction and Miller Developments are planning to further support the academy with a future charity event and details will be released in due course.
