Fight 4 Change is a registered charity that uses the sport of boxing in inner cities and socially excluded communities to:
- Engage young people in positive activities at key times.
- Use the coach / participant relationship to provide positive role models and motivation.
- Deliver personal and social development projects with boxing as a pathway.
- Provide education and training programmes as pathways into coaching and mainstream education.
- Promote volunteering and citizenship with a club and community environment.
- Offer pathways into mainstream clubs and the competitive boxing network.
Fight 4 Change was founded in 2009 by former WBC Super Middleweight Champion, GB Olympic coach and TV commentator Richie Woodhall, with support from a range of individuals who work with the sports and community development environment.
The charity has assembled a skilled staff team, including coaches, youth workers and former professional athletes, working from two centres in London and the West Midlands who not only deliver our projects but also work with partners to promote and develop the sport of boxing a tool for positive social change.
Richie Woodhall continues to act as a patron and ambassador of Fight 4 Change.
