Who we support – young people

Young People

Welcome to our community hub, where we believe every young person has the power to overcome challenges and create a brighter future. We understand that being a young person today can come with its own set of challenges, and whether you’re facing bullying, anxiety, or feeling lost, our programmes are designed just for you. Here, you’ll find a safe space to rebuild your confidence and connect with others who understand what you’re going through.

Supportive Community

Our supportive community is dedicated to helping you manage mental health challenges and discover healthy outlets for your energy. We know that sometimes life can feel overwhelming, but through boxing, you’ll learn discipline, respect, and important skills to navigate your journey. Whether you’re dealing with peer pressure, worried about gang involvement, or any other challenges, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Celebrating individuality

We celebrate individuality and foster an inclusive environment for all young people, empowering each person to embrace their unique strengths. Our programmes are designed to support everyone, including those with disabilities, special educational needs, young carers, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. If you’re exploring your next steps in education or training, our support can help you make positive changes, reconnect with your passions, and build a brighter future for yourself.

Our Youth Voices

After stopping boxing at 13, my life spiralled downward, leading to multiple arrests by age 18. Re-joining the club marked a positive turnaround; my coach’s support and encouragement were crucial. Despite ongoing mental health challenges, I now manage my anger and think before acting. I love this club. It’s changed my life.

I love it here, when I’ve had a long week, this puts my mind onto something, and I can work out and do bags and pads.

It’s a really good programme because it teaches people how to box and it’s made me feel needed.

I enjoy boxing because I meet new people from different schools who are nice and respectful, creating a bully-free environment where we look out for each other.

It’s been positive because I used to think boxing was only for boys, but now I know girls can do it too!

This experience has been fun and has improved my behaviour at school. The coaches are all really nice, and I’ve also made closer friends within the group now too.

I like that I can talk to people if I need their help. Since starting at Bletchley Boxing, I’ve been able to speak to a lot more people about things than before, such as my family and teachers. I especially love all the motivating quotes around the gym, specifically Muhammed Ali’s.
