Empire Fighting Chance is a member of Peace in Our Cities, a network of cities across the world committed to creating peaceful, just and inclusive societies. There is a particular focus on reducing urban violence.
We use a developmental model that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, that addresses deep rooted societal change to reduce inequality and increase opportunity. These are :
Global Goal 3
Global Goal 16
Peace Justice and Strong Institutions
Using these UN Global goals as our focus, we work at a strategic and community level, and offer bespoke partnerships that focus on this systemic change. This model has worked successfully in partnership with overseas projects in Colombia, Canada and Mexico.
TRAINING
We share insight, knowledge and best practice.
Partner organisations will undergo intensive training for the delivery model, are provided with insights and practical help around its implementation.
This is followed by yearly comprehensive support which is a combination of face to face, video tutorials and online training.
SPEAKING
Our CEO Martin Bisp has spoken at numerous national and international conferences on issues of youth violence, working class leadership, and creating safe cities.
He is able to offer support, and help your organisation present a case, a new project or policy change to city or national government.
This can enable you to lobby for policy, institutional change and amplify funding opportunities. The road map to elevating your organisation is one Empire can share with you.

Our specialist area of work is engaging with young people that sit outside the mainstream and have been failed by orthodox interventions. Our delivery model allows organisations and cities to create projects that are culturally appropriate, impactful and sustainable.
Partnering with us will help save lives.
