A-Rock Boxing Academy has raised £240 for Gussie's Kitchen, one of six ‘Super Kitchens’ in Derbyshire which provide food parcels and friendly space for communities to come together and enjoy a tasty, low-cost meal while meeting new people.

The welcome contribution, gathered by various fundraising events organised by the academy in recent months, has helped Gussie’s to provide more than 10,000 food parcels to households which need them and will continue to boost their work in the future.
