Fight for Peace is a sport for development charity based in Newham, London. At its core, it is a boxing and martial arts academy with a whole range of in-house youth support services under one roof. Not only Fight for Peace works directly with young people, it also trains and supports grassroots sports clubs in adopting a sports-for-development approach to their sport of physical activity across the UK.
In April 2022, Fight for Peace became one of 120 Sport England Systems Partners. The aim is to deliver system-wide change against Sport England’s 10-year strategy, “Uniting the Movement”, to level up access to sport and physical activity across the country. One of the goals of this programme is to increase the engagement of under-represented and under-served groups in sports and physical activity.
Through the provision of training and tailored support, Fight for Peace believes it can continue to help local clubs to better engage young people from diverse backgrounds and increase participation among marginalised communities. Fight for Peace is currently developing a portfolio of training and capacity-building resources
