Support Unity Life Academy
ULA is at the start. The space needs work before anyone can train in it, and the people who help now are the people who make it happen.
Phase 1
Getting the space ready
We have a unit in central Manchester. It's bare brick and a rough concrete floor. Phase 1 turns it into somewhere people can train and learn.

What comes next
After Phase 1
Once the space is ready, ULA will need boxing equipment, paid coaching time and the running costs for the first camps. We'll share those plans and costs here once they're confirmed, and we'll be honest about how far the money goes.
Phase 1 is the bit that makes everything else possible. That's why we're asking for help with it first.
Other ways to help
Not everyone gives money. Everyone can give something.
Sponsor ULA as a business
Back the launch as a local business. We'll agree with each sponsor how they're recognised, on this website and in the space itself. Choose "Sponsorship" on the contact form.
Volunteer your time or trade
Painters, plasterers, electricians, joiners, and people who can help with admin, fundraising or mentoring. Tell us what you can offer and when. Choose "Volunteering" on the contact form.
Donate equipment
Gloves, pads, bags, mats, gym flooring, chairs and tables for the classroom, or building materials for Phase 1. Tell us what you have and we'll say honestly whether we can use it. Choose "Equipment donation" on the contact form.

Where the money goes
Unity Life Academy is being set up as a Community Interest Company. Donations made through the Crowdfunder go towards the Phase 1 work on the unit: preparing the walls, levelling the floor, gym flooring and the mezzanine classroom.
ULA is not a registered charity, so we can't claim Gift Aid on donations. If that changes, we'll say so here.
If you'd rather give in another way, or you're a business or a church that wants to support the work directly, get in touch and we'll talk it through.
Help us open the doors
Every pound goes towards getting the space ready for the first camp.
