Mission

The London Boxing Academy Community Project (LBA) pioneers a ground breaking new approach to youth exclusion. Using the positive effects of sport, mainly boxing, we help some of the most disadvantaged and hard to reach young people in London return to education, training or employment and play a positive role in their communities. Our success rate in achieving this aim is over 90%.

The LBA follows a normal school year combining academic, vocational and life skills qualifications with sports such as boxing, athletics, table tennis, badminton and football. Our students discover that a positive cycle of work and reward in sport leads to raised self-esteem, confidence and a positive frame of mind. Over the months our students transfer this "feel-good" factor to their academic work, vocational training, relationships and every part of their lives.
