The KnockOut Violence Project

The KnockOut Violence Project is a community-led initiative by Blades Down and Gloves Not Gangs, designed to support young people at risk of involvement in knife crime, gang culture, and antisocial behaviour. Through boxing fitness sessions, mentoring, and educational workshops, we provide a safe space for young people to build confidence, resilience, and make positive choices.
