BACKGROUND
Boxing Futures is a charity that helps young people to build their confidence, self-esteem, and resilience, whilst also improving health and fitness. Our programmes are designed to engage young people in a personalised environment where they can be successful and develop their social, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Our programmes blend physical activity and therapeutic talk time.
We work with BACP registered Psychotherapists to ensure all our programmes have a healthy balance between physical and mental development.
We believe in promoting the aspirations of our service users and in providing opportunities for young people to gain their Bronze Boxercise Award. Our alumni service users also have the chance to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.
