About Fight for Peace

At Fight for Peace we support young people to reach their full potential. To do this we combine combat sports with a range of essential youth services. We focus on marginalised communities because typically, this is where the need for our work is greatest, and where we can have the biggest impact.

We have been working with young people since 2000 and have impacted the lives of thousands of young people via our Academy in east London, and via a national and international network of partners who are trained in our approach.

Our approach to supporting young people takes the inherent benefit of combat sports, and couples it with a range of essential youth services including mentoring, and education, employment and leadership opportunities.

One of these opportunities lies within the Fight for Peace Young Creatives, a group of talented young people who produce creative content for Fight for Peace’s communications channels, gaining hands-on experience of what it’s like to work in the creative world. In the two years since its beginnings, the group has produced a breadth of high-quality work, including social media content and short films. All content is available to view on the Fight for Peace Instagram and YouTube channels.
