London Boxing Academy Community Project

 

Tom’s Trust is providing funding for the London Boxing Academy Community Project. This project is based in the London borough of Haringey and provides an alternative education programme, combining academic studies with sport, that aims to re-integrate excluded youths into mainstream society.

LBACP is piloting an alternative school curriculum combining academic studies with sport, with particular focus on the discipline and dedication required in boxing. It specifically targets youths who are experiencing difficulty with or have been excluded from mainstream education. The primary goal is to engage, educate, empower and inspire these youngsters so that they can reverse completely their negative patterns of behaviour and forge successful futures for themselves.

Academic studies are of paramount importance. Core academic subjects will include GCSE English, maths, information communication technology and physical education. Results to date hve been really encouraging.

After graduating from the LBACP, it is anticipated that attendees will have the opportunity to go into full or part-time employment with local businesses that support the LBACP. - www.lbacp.co.uk
