Aim: We use fitness to transform lives, reaching those society often overlooks. We Train Talk Transform Together!

Help Us Transform Lives Through Fitness & Community!

At The 180 Project, we believe fitness has the power to change lives—not just physically, but mentally and socially. We work with people facing disadvantage, long-term health conditions, and social exclusion, giving them a free, welcoming space to train, connect, and rebuild their lives.

🚨 The Problem:
 Many people in our community— including those with poor mental and physical health face huge barriers to exercise. They may not be able to afford gym memberships, don’t feel confident in mainstream fitness spaces, or simply don’t know where to start. As a result, they remain inactive and at high risk of heart disease, mental health struggles, and isolation.

💪 Our Solution:
With your help, we’ll provide free, community-led fitness sessions that are fun and inclusive, and supported by people, who’ve overcome barriers that prevent them from reaching their potential. These sessions will:
✅ Improve physical & mental health
✅ Build confidence & resilience
✅ Create a sense of belonging & support
✅ Help people break free from cycles of inactivity & poor health

🔥 How You Can Help:
Your donation will help us:
🏋️ Expand sessions to reach more people
🏃‍♂️ Provide safe, accessible workout spaces
🤝 Train more volunteer mentors
 ❤️ Keep our sessions free for those who need them most

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target and make this project a reality.
