Belonging: Tiger Bay Boxing Club is a documentary film co-created and produced with a community in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. It presents an intimate portrait of a group of young people in the Butetown area of Cardiff. How does a boxing club in a deprived neighbourhood manage to navigate the challenges of limited resources while pursuing a big vision to support young people to thrive?
Belonging highlights the experiences of young people during the emergency conditions posed by the threat of the Covid-19 pandemic. We see and hear about how the difficult times of the pandemic stimulated agency within this community, creating solidarity, and inspiring resilience and wellbeing.
The film shows how boxing clubs can serve as more than just a place for physical training. As the young people attest, the club provides a space for them to build relationships, confidence, foster personal growth, and promote their resilience and wellbeing. There is a strong sense of belonging, unity, purpose and what it means for the young people to engage in physical activities like boxing.
The Minister for the Economy of Wales, Vaughan Gething, says boxing “is a good lesson for life itself” and the club provides a valuable space “to encourage young people to think about learning.” As the young people attest, the club provides a space to build relationships, confidence, foster personal growth, and promote their resilience in ways that supports them to thrive and hope for “a bright future”.
Belonging was co-created with the community and produced as part of Co-POWeR: Consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience, exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities. The aim was to find out people’s lived experiences, ranging from the challenges they faced, to inspirational stories of hope and resilience. Co-POWeR newsletter
