About this cause

Fight for Peace aims to ensure that all young people living in communities affected by crime and violence receive the opportunities and support they need to enable them to reach their full potential and lead peaceful, positive and productive lives. Fight for Peace’s holistic methodology combines boxing and martial arts with education and personal development as part of a public health approach to youth violence prevention.

How this cause brings people in the community together

This project is a response to the fact that school holidays can be difficult times for local families. Newham, where Fight for Peace is based, has one of the highest levels of child poverty in the UK and many children in the borough who receive school meals, go hungry during the holidays. Without the activities provided at Fight for Peace outside of term time, many children would face hunger, isolation and inactivity.
