A proven model
Since 2017, our specialist blend of non-contact boxing and evidence-based psychology has helped young people achieve emotional wellbeing goals, build relationships and believe in their futures. In bespoke groups of up to 12, our therapeutic coaching model maximises the mental and physical benefits of boxing, whilst our clinicians flexibly deliver mental health intervention. Some young people even earn recognised qualifications. Thanks to our robust impact measurement, we know this unique combination delivers proven outcomes.

All our projects are delivered in partnership with boxing clubs, schools and youth mental health services in accessible community venues across London. See our list of current groups here.

HOW WE WORK
Reaching
young people
Past experiences and systemic barriers make it hard for some young people to access support. Our proven approach gives them the chance to thrive.
Most of the young people we work with have experienced adversity, trauma or social exclusion, and the majority come from black and minoritised backgrounds. Our therapeutic approach to outreach and building trust means we connect with young people that other services miss and help them achieve their goals.
Creating unique projects for diverse needs
Every group we run is different because so is every young person. We work with partners and participants to tailor delivery based on real needs.
We know that one size never fits all, so we take the time to listen and understand the needs of everyone taking part, co-creating bespoke groups for the biggest impact. The outcomes young people achieve prove the value of this extra effort as they graduate less stressed, more focused and better able to connect with others.
Combining expertise
for maximum impact
All projects are co-led by expert mental health clinicians and England Boxing accredited coaches, and we meticulously measure our impact.
By bringing together two different skill sets to collaborate as a single team, we believe we give young people the best of that combined expertise and experience, employing methods that always follow the latest proven evidence.
IYC cleverly balances sport with thoughtful and well-planned emotional regulation. We have witnessed some truly transformational changes in students.
