MARTIAL ARTS – Scarborough and Locals Together (SALT) are pleased to have helped young Scarborough girl Jocelyn Dixon who was on top medal-winning form while representing England at the World Kickboxing Championships in Hungary in October.

Jocelyn won a gold, silver and bronze medal at the World Championships and getting her there wouldn't have been possible without help from various sources.

As kickboxing is an amateur sport it has to be selffunded so SALT's donation of £250 helped with kit/training and flights.

Jocelyn was also helped by Treasured Memory Makers, who donated £750 and The Rotary Cavaliers, who donated £100.

Nine-year-old Jocelyn has been kickboxing for four years, and won a silver medal at the British Championships earlier this year.
