Empire Fighting Chance
Empire Fighting Chance combines non-contact boxing and intensive personal support to challenge and inspire vulnerable young people to realise their true potential. We weave in personal support while young people learn to box, using the sport as a platform to mentor, deliver therapy and offer careers support.
We have created an alternative way of working with young people experiencing disadvantage that recognises what they have been through and what they need. Our model combines boxing with psychologically informed support, delivered by someone they trust. Young people gain support in a way that is enjoyable and feels safe, encouraging them to turn up, engage and go on to make positive changes to their lives.
