For some young people being part of a boxing gym gives them far more than fitness, self defence and learning the noble art of pugilism!
Boxing helps build confidence, discipline and routine. In boxing gyms manners and the respect for others and yourself goes without saying. Boxing gyms build strong characters and good citizens. as a member of Boxers in Need you will get to see more of the gyms and see first hand some of the successes and case studies we see and work with.
