Supporting young people to overcome barriers to education 

Schools are supporting young people facing increasingly complex challenges around attendance, inclusion, behaviour, engagement and wellbeing. 

For some pupils, traditional approaches aren't enough. They may be at risk of exclusion, struggling to attend or engage with education, experiencing mental health challenges, or finding it difficult to manage the demands of school life. 

Empire provides targeted programmes that complement the support already taking place in schools. Through boxing, mentoring and specialist support, we help young people develop the confidence, skills and resilience they need to engage positively with education and progress. 

Proven impact 

Measuring outcomes has been central to Empire's work for many years. We track results across our programmes and publish our findings, giving schools evidence of the difference our approach can make.

  • 90%  of young people who completed Box Champions felt more resilient 

  • 80% of participants in Box Therapy reported an improved sense of wellbeing 

  • 100% of young people on Box Careers improved their confidence
