All of our BoxWise programmes in the UK are run by accredited England Boxing coaches and, where possible, include a free hot meal for all participants. Our leading 10-week programmes run across the country in boxing clubs, community centres and schools.
Some of the ways our participants are referred to us include:

OUR CORE PROGRAMME
Our core programme focuses on building the skills young people need to navigate the world they live in today, from maximising their success at school to engaging with and being part of their local communities.
Adapted 1-week versions of the BoxWise Under 18’s programme run throughout the school holidays as ‘BoxWise Lite’, with a 5-week course running as part of the PE curriculum at several schools across London and Scotland.
ADAPTIVE DISABILITY
BoxWise is proud to run adapted boxing courses for young people with disabilities at Pembroke and Pembroke Dock Amateur Boxing Club, Billy's Gym in Maestag, Star College and the Mary Hare School.
Adaptive boxing can be enjoyed at a variety of levels and adjusted to suit individual needs and fitness abilities. The programmes are delivered by expert coaches in safe, inclusive and accessible environments where everyone feels able to participate.
CENTREPOINT
As part of our mission to support the most disadvantaged and vulnerable young people across the country, BoxWise runs courses in partnership with Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. BoxWise sessions run at Centrepoint hubs in London, Manchester and Bradford.
REFUGEE
In order to support the refugee community in the UK following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, BoxWise created a course specifically for young Ukrainians. The course builds on the core foundations of our programme and provides a safe space for these young people to channel their energies, improve their language skills, and meet other young refugees who have been through the same hugely challenging time.
VETERANS
BoxWise is proud to have designed a tailored 10-week programme for military veterans to support their transition back to civilian life after service. The course includes a core focus on mental wellbeing and building community amongst the veterans it supports.
WOMENS
BoxWise’s 10-week, women’s only programme is aimed at women who have survived domestic violence or abuse. The course is focused on empowerment, building confidence and community in a safe space for the women who attend.
BoxWise's women only sessions have taken place at gyms across the UK, such as in Telford and Manchester, and internationally in South Africa and Egypt.
INTERNATIONAL
BoxWise has previously launched and delivered our 10-week programme at a number of international boxing clubs.
Each international programme was tailored to the needs of the local communities, with programmes for young women in South Africa and Egypt and adaptive disability sessions in Brazil, alongside Under 18 programmes in Ireland, Uganda and Tanzania.
