Tucked away in a corner of the RJ4All Community Centre – away from the hustle and bustle of the warm
RJ4All Sports is the charitable fitness branch of the Restorative Justice for All International Institute (RJ4All).
At RJ4All, we believe that to address disadvantage and rebalance power in society in a more equal way, we must adopt a holistic approach. We believe in the power of sports in bringing people together, addressing marginalisation and community cohesion issues while improving well-being and health outcomes. This is why we created the “RJ4All Sports” brand!
RJ4All Sports is delivered at the RJ4All Rotherhithe Community Centre and the nearby Greenland Dock where we have our accessible boat for free sailing activities. At our Centre, we offer all sorts of sports including group fitness classes, personal training as well as cooking workshops. This is also where you can find the RJ4All Community Gym, which is open to everyone.
These are uploaded on our RJ4All Sports YouTube channel and are provided for free.
Our classes are very popular and are delivered by our qualified Personal Trainers. We have a booking system that needs to be used prior to coming to the centre for all classes and workshops, but you can drop into the gym any time the centre is open. Our gym space is also available for hire for sports and other events.
RJ4All Sports supports and delivers the London Mayor’s Sport for all of us strategy as well as the Southwark Sport and Physical Activity Strategy 2019-2023.
Open from Monday to Thursday 9:30 – Thursday 17:30.
This is managed by RJ4All Sports, it is staffed with RJ4All Personal Trainers and is equipped with everything needed for a full body workout.
Accessible fitness classes depending on times of the year including:
Outdoor cycling and cultural walks in the SE16 area.
The Resilient & Active Families (RAF) project builds on the successes of our previous Walking and Cycling Grants London (WCGL)-funded initiative, targeting families from low socio-economic back ground and children at risk.
Building community cohesion and independence through sailing & volunteering.
Through sailing projects like Sailing to Cohesion, we aim to build confidence in individuals and bring together disabled and able-bodied people, regardless of social class or culture.
RJ4All Sports is not a business! It is a non-profit, community-based enterprise that we created with support from funders such as London Sport, Sport England, Southwark Council and others in order to make sports more inclusive while addressing power abuse of all kinds.
It is the sports arm of the charitable Restorative Justice for All International Institute.
At RJ4All Sports, we tailor our services to our clients’ needs by providing individualised support and attention.
We acknowledge our limitations including our limited gym floor space and limited technical facilities, but we are proud of our team of highly qualified and experienced Personal Trainers.
We do not see our clients as a number, and we make sure that they are always included in the design and revision of our services.
We have a Safeguarding & Equality Policies as well as a Complaints Policy and feedback forms that allow us to air any concerns in the restorative justice ethos that we champion as a charitable NGO that believes in your power to do good first for yourselves and then for others and especially those who can’t do this for themselves.
