More about Fight for Peace (FFP)
Fight for Peace uses boxing and martial arts combined with education and personal development to tackle the issue of youth involvement in violence.
Using ethnographic research on the drivers behind youth involvement in violence, combined with intensive engagement with young people and delivery experience, Fight for Peace provides a holistic service of Five Pillars (boxing and martial arts, education, employability, social support and youth leadership). Boxing and martial arts is used as it is especially powerful in engaging young people who are exposed to or involved in risky behaviours, and when delivered in combination with personal development, education and employment opportunities, is highly effective for helping young people to resist or desist from engaging in violence and to progress in education and work, helping to create peaceful communities.
