Throughout the Covid-19 lockdown, Millie Symons became very frustrated at not being able to box.
However, the 17-year-old managed to keep herself fit by running and working out in her garage at home.

The Starting Handle club has donated £3,000 of left over money from its postponed summer shows to support charities struggling in the pandemic.
Members of the vintage tractor club based in Smallburgh nominated East Coast Truckers, Cromer RNLI, Aylsham Royal British Legion, East Anglian Children’s Hospices, Norfolk Accident Rescue Service and the East Anglian Air Ambulance to receive £500 each.
The organisation, formed in 1973, is not for profit and has not been able to hold its usual summer shows due to COVID restrictions.
Any profit from the shows is usually donated to charity.

Hundreds of pounds have been raised for a children s hospice after a village channelled the spirit of Santa.
More than 100 residents in Brisley, between Dereham and Fakenham, have raised £720.12 for the East Anglian Children s Hospice (EACH) by hosting a Safe Santa Walk and other festive events.
Brisley’s Village Hall Committee was behind the fundraising effort, supported by a grant from the Norfolk Community Foundation, and ensured the event complied with all relevant regulations, and kept participants safe.
