If you are an International organisation you can partner with Empire on a local community or city level. This can include strategic or delivery support.

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 

Good Health and Wellbeing

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.

Empire also have a number of staff including Sport Psychologist Sam Kotadia, who also works at Wrexham Football Club, who is available to present on the Empire Principles and underpinning psychology of our model.

Community Manager coach Courtney Young, and various young people that have come through the project can present on a number of key issues affecting young people in urban inner cities. From youth violence, gang membership, to knife crime to creating job opportunities.

Partnering

We share insight, knowledge and best practice.

A partnership with Empire is a two way process, as we learn from each other. 

We can accommodate visits to our Centre of Excellence in Bristol in the United Kingdom, and are willing to travel overseas.

Partnering with Empire will save lives

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.
