This project is designed to inspire and empower young people to reach their full potential through the art of boxing.
by Douglas Cosbert in London, England, United Kingdom
The main aim of the Vauxhall After School Boxing Academy is to provide diversionary activities for vulnerable young people who may be at risk of involvement with youth crime, such as gang membership and drugs.
In addition, the project aims to combat the growing prevalence of obesity and Type 2 diabetes amongst young people in London.
The project combines learning the art of boxing with goal setting and mentoring to improve participants fitness, confidence, and resilience
The anticipated outcomes include:
• Reduce vulnerability to youth crime
• Acquisition of ASDAN Boxing Certification
• Motivation to pursue a career in sports and fitness
