Who are we?
The first UK Boxing Organisation to address Masculinity and Violence Against Women And Girls in schools.
Boxing Saves Lives CIC is an award winning and trailblazing nonprofit dedicated to transforming young lives through boxing. As a trauma-informed organization, we collaborate with schools, social services, mental health providers, youth offending teams, and charities to support young people and their families.
​
In December 2019, our founder, JP Smith, highlighted the dangers of gang violence and County Lines, emphasizing boxing gyms as safe havens where youth can escape harm, learn discipline and respect, and boost their physical and mental well-being.
​
When the COVID-19 lockdown hit in March 2020, JP founded Boxing Saves Lives, recognizing that young people with Adverse Childhood Experiences were at greater risk. The need was undeniable.
Boxing revitalizes well-being for nearly anyone. At Boxing Saves Lives, we transform hearts and minds, offering a judgment-free sanctuary in schools for those impacted by exploitation, loneliness, exclusion, or emotional and physical abuse.
