Heading 1
Empire Fighting Chance was born on Bristol’s streets in 2006 to fight the impact of deprivation and inequality on the lives of young people.
We use a powerful combination of non-contact boxing and intensive personal support to challenge and inspire young people aged 8-to 25 to realise their unique potential.
Heading 2
Young people arrive at our doors with a range of behavioural and emotional issues, including anger, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Their distress is often expressed in ways that can lead them into trouble rather than care and support.
We take referrals from schools, parents, NHS mental health services, local authorities, the police, youth charities, and young people themselves. We reach over 5,000 young people every year.
Many of the young people we work with have been excluded from school or are involved in anti-social and criminal behaviour, including gang crime and drug abuse.
We have developed an approach that reflects the strengths and interests of young people. We use the credibility of boxing to attract young people and weave in personal development activities while they participate in the sport.
With us, young people don’t join a ‘charity programme’ – they participate in sport and accept support naturally. As a result, they are much more willing to open up, trust us and listen to what we have to say.

This programme has been life changing for my son and our family. He has learnt strategies to channel his frustrations and anger and has become more confident to talk about his feelings.
