Fundraise with us, so no young person has to face inequality in sport, education, identity or opportunity on their own.
Your funds will be going to:
1. Flagship Programme
Along with non-contact boxing, we using the sports' stories and figures to teach humanities and social sciences to re-engage young people with learning and help them understand the world around them. We work with youth centres, schools, and other charitable youth organisations.
2. Campaigns
We put boxing at the centre stage of discussions on social issues and gives voice to disadvantaged communities to challenges dominant narratives. Through creative storytelling projects, our topics have spanned anti-racism, heritage, mental health awareness, care, nutritional awareness and more.
3. Research
Through the lens of boxing, we turn complex ideas tangible, relatable, and accessible. Our end goal is to inspire more people who has been told that learning is not for them, and to challenge this narrative. Our topics span sociology, politics, economics, anthropology, the sciences, and more.
4. Funds and Grants.
We provide funding and in-kind support, including equipment, as well as small Education & Development Awards to help gyms, youth centres, charities, boxers and coaches expand education, development and career opportunities.
Why boxing, education and storytelling?
1 in 4 young people in the lowest income households feel people like them do not have much of a chance in life. In the UK, disadvantaged pupils were almost twice as likely to fall behind. In the US, wealthy districts were four times more likely to recover learning. Globally, 40% of the poorest countries could not provide targeted support during COVID school closures, while physical inactivity hit low income communities hardest.
It’s hard to imagine how a young person sees themselves when compounded inequalities tied to education, physical activity, identity and opportunity shape their everyday life.
We exist to bring education to the places it rarely reaches, using boxing to engage and connect with some of the most disadvantaged young people.
From their passion for the sport, we help them reimagine what’s possible for their futures in education and careers, while spotlighting boxing’s power to drive social change.
Donate today and help change the futures of all the young people let down by systems they live, and join our movement in showing the world what the boxing community and the sport can do.
