England Boxing
About the project
Boxing is often cited as a promising approach to support young people and to achieve a range of societal benefits, including reducing or preventing crime. However, there is very little robust, quantitative impact evaluation investigating and demonstrating these benefits.
To fill this gap in the evidence, we’ve funded a multi-stage and multi-site evaluation of a new, co-designed boxing intervention (‘Moves Different’ Boxing). This multi-site randomized controlled trial will involve implementing a single central delivery and evaluation protocol across a number of boxing clubs, where each site is intended to follow the same recruitment, randomisation, intervention delivery, and data collection procedures, coordinated by the central research and delivery teams.

Grant:Positive activities
We’re looking to learn more about the impact of the arts, sports and wilderness and adventure activities on reducing violent offending behaviours for children and young people who have been – or are at high-risk of being – affected by violence, offending and/or exploitation.
