We support young people and adults who face the inequity of more challenging life experiences related to finance, home life, mental and physical health, paired with less access to the systems to support their wellbeing. People in Wandsworth live at society's extremes, with some of the wealthiest people in the UK living opposite some of the UK's most deprived communities. Our young people see this inequality every day, reminding them they have to work harder than others to achieve their dreams.

Boxing has well documented benefits including physical health, mental health, increased social interactions and greater determine to succeed. The project will offer mentorship through sports, leveraging the discipline of sport to instil values and resilience. They will be mentored by individuals who understand their experiences and provide excellent role models, helping young people to believe they can also achieve as others have before them.
