We just want to give a big shout out to Stu! 📣

Stu who’s our Men’s Programme Lead has recently completed the INCREDIBLE challenge of climbing the equivalent height of Mount Everest. Stu set this challenge to inspire other men to believe in themselves and step outside their comfort zones to realise they’re capable of far more than they think!

As part of this journey, Stu brought together our community partners and many of the people they support to take on Snowdon in Wales. It wasn’t just a walk up a mountain… it was about encouragement and showing that life’s biggest challenges are always easier when you tackle them together.

Stu is a brilliant example of what we’re all about at The 180 Project. He encourages others to push themselves and shows that improving our mental health often starts with taking that first step.

Amazing effort Stu! Well done 👏🏻

At just a young age, Harrison is already leading by example 💪

As one of our 180 coaches, he brings energy, humility and dedication to every session, inspiring both our adults and young people to be the best version of themselves!

He represented at the CrossFit Games as a Teen Athlete… an absolutely incredible achievement that reflects the work and commitment he shows every single day!

We’re incredibly proud to have Harrison as part of the 180 team and can’t wait to see what’s next. Congratulations on another year at the games Harrison. Your community is behind you 👏💙

Expanding The 180 Project across Lancashire!!

We’re proud to be partnering with Change Grow Live to deliver The 180 Project across Lancashire, creating more opportunities for people in recovery to improve their physical health, mental wellbeing and sense of belonging through our community.

Our satellite hubs are now growing across the county, helping people build routine, confidence and positive connections through functional fitness.

💙 Our Preston hub is now running at Saolfit Preston:

📍 Saolfit Preston
Unit 7 & 8, Longton Business Park, Station Road, Much Hoole, Preston, PR4 5LE
🕐 Monday | Wednesday | Friday
1:15pm – 2:15pm

We’re incredibly grateful to the amazing team at SaolfitGym for opening their doors and becoming part of the 180 community.

This is just the beginning.

Over the coming weeks we’ll also be introducing our fantastic partners at Burnley and Crossfit Blackpool , who are joining us in making recovery more accessible across Lancashire.

Together we’re proving that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens through community.

Drop us a message if you’d like to get involved or know someone who would benefit from what we do.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at The 180 Project.

From mentoring men in prison, supporting sessions in the community, sharing lived experience, offering encouragement when it’s needed most, or simply being a consistent and trusted presence, our volunteers help create the relationships that make change possible.

This , we want to say a heartfelt thank you to every person who gives their time, energy and compassion to support our work.

Many of the people who volunteer with us have walked their own difficult paths. They know what it feels like to struggle, to start again, and to need someone who believes in you. Their willingness to use those experiences to help others is one of the most powerful things we witness.

At The 180 Project, we often talk about the importance of community. Our volunteers are a huge part of that community. They help create environments where people feel safe, valued, challenged and supported to become the best version of themselves.

Over the last year, our volunteers have supported men in prison, welcomed prison leavers into the community, mentored young people, helped deliver sessions, organised events and played an essential role in helping people build healthier, more hopeful futures.

To every volunteer past and present: thank you. Your contribution matters more than you probably realise.

Together, we’re not just changing lives, we’re helping people believe that change is possible.

Today we had the opportunity to celebrate and thank you all!!
