You can’t change your past, but we can help YOU change your future!
Be Strong is a project and registered charity with a strong Christian ethos, borne out of a passionate belief that a structured programme of supervised physical training and mentoring support can offer drug addicts and habitual offenders the opportunity to take active control of their lifestyle to improve their lives and add value to society.
Be Strong builds on positive aspects of health and well being to remedy project participant’s psychological and interpersonal issues via personal development workshops delivered simultaneously with physical training.
This innovative project being run with little funding at present, will prove to ex-offenders that they can make choices which offer them an alternative lifestyle. Be Strong delivers a programme of physical activity to remedy health issues in order to build trust and confidence in the mentor.
The project will allow participants to develop their physical training at their own pace. They will be closely mentored and encouraged through this difficult period of transition to become strong in mind and spirit.

Be Strong Project now has another employability skills program. The beneficiaries of this program have successfully graduated through our rehabilitation program and have been victorious in abstaining from the use of drugs, alcohol and prescription drugs for a prolonged period of time.
The men who are running this new enterprise will have conquered some of life’s biggest challenges, they have also preserved under some of the most immense pressure, even whilst they were so vulnerable but they stayed strong & persevered. See more here.
“I think converting shipping containers into ‘TEMPORARY’ accommodation is a fantastic idea but the word ‘TEMPORARY’ needs to mean just that.
When people do not receive the support they feel they are entitled to their self esteem, self worth, self belief etc is usually based on materialism ie when they were kids they probably dreamt of having a nice home, going on family holidays, a car etc……
But they’re now in a situation where they aren’t even having their basic needs met and then they’re offered a shipping container as a makeshift address.
Does this sound like something that you would be happy with?
Is this what our kids should be aspiring to?
Is this something that you would be willing to do?”
