How Box4Life Works

FITNESS – exercises + games + boxing
FOCUS – boxing develops inner resources
FAMILY – respect, warmth, tolerance, support
BOXING WITH A SOCIAL PURPOSE
• building resilience
• supporting personal growth
• providing an antidote to gang culture
OUR STRATEGY
• Boxing is a hook – to growth & resilience
• Extended family atmosphere - an antidote to gang culture from age 8 onwards
• Home-grown coaches – each one teach one
• Link grassroots to mainstream as a joint effort
• Build add-ons and wrap-around support
Where boys and girls aged 8-16 in South Leytonstone enjoy boxing and enjoy life.
We teach non-contact boxing under the national Boxing Awards scheme, led by an ABA coach and trained local volunteers. We also run games and activities to develop life skills – covering everything from healthy living to dealing with gangs.
The club has a family atmosphere and a strong community spirit. Everyone is welcomed and valued.
Box4Life is run by SLADA - a local registered charity. The club opened in 2009, initially financed by the Home Office through the Communities Against Gangs, Guns and Knives Fund.
