ABOUT BILLINGHAM BOXING ACADEMY

Billingham Boxing Academy, established in 2018 and affiliated with England Boxing, has grown from a community-focused boxing club into a registered charity dedicated to transforming lives across Teesside.

Built on a foundation of passionate coaching and inclusion, the academy now plays a vital role in tackling some of the most pressing challenges facing young people and adults in the community. Through strong links with initiatives addressing knife crime, as well as partnerships with programmes such as Parkinson’s Punchers and Knockout Depression, the academy uses boxing as a powerful tool to improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and social outcomes.

The organisation continues to champion its four core areas: Sport, Education, Employability, and Mental Health, but has expanded its reach significantly. A key development is the launch of the Limitless Sports and Learning Centre, an alternative provision designed to support individuals who are struggling within mainstream education or experiencing mental health challenges. This centre provides a safe, structured environment where participants can rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and re-engage with learning.

As a charity, Billingham Boxing Academy remains committed to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds. Its mission is to promote health, wellbeing, and positive lifestyle choices, particularly within the most deprived and disadvantaged communities, without discrimination.

By combining sport with education and targeted support programmes, the academy continues to unlock potential, empower individuals, and make a lasting impact on the community it serves.
