About
PASSION AND UNDERSTANDING

Off The Ropes was born from a shared passion for boxing and a deep understanding of its powerful benefits

delivered by a team with extensive experience working directly in mental health settings. This unique blend of expertise means we provide more than just boxing; we offer compassionate, informed support that truly makes a difference in the lives of young people and adults. 

Addressing Complex Mental Health Challenges Across London and Kent

Our sessions tackle the complex mental health challenges faced in London and Kent through a holistic programme designed to address key underlying causes. By supporting lasting wellbeing, we aim to help keep people out of NHS services. 

Mental Health Challenges

Boxing offers a powerful physical and emotional outlet, helping participants process trauma, reduce anxiety, and manage stress. Combined with dedicated mental health support, our programme builds resilience and fosters emotional balance.

Self-Harm

We provide a safe, supportive space where emotional pain can be expressed and redirected constructively. Boxing offers a healthier, empowering alternative, helping participants find positive ways to cope.

Low Self-Esteem

By setting achievable goals and offering positive encouragement, participants begin to recognise their own worth. As skills develop and progress is celebrated, self-esteem is rebuilt — one round at a time.

Low Confidence

Stepping into the ring is more than a physical act — it’s a bold metaphor for courage, focus, and self-belief. Our programme nurtures that confidence, empowering individuals to push their limits and discover their inner strength.

Poor Interpersonal/Social Skills

Our boxing sessions encourage teamwork, communication, and respect. Through shared challenges and victories, participants build the skills to connect, resolve conflict, and form meaningful relationships.

Poor Employability Skills

Our sessions build essential skills like discipline, time management, teamwork, and communication — qualities highly valued by employers. Alongside boxing, we provide practical guidance that boosts confidence and prepares participants to thrive in the workplace.

Low Educational Attainment

We foster an engaging, accessible learning environment where participants develop focus, discipline, and a growth mindset — skills that support improved educational outcomes and lifelong learning.

Obesity

Our active sessions encourage healthier lifestyles by building fitness, supporting weight loss, and fostering pride in one’s body and abilities — all within a motivating and structured environment.

Summary

Across every challenge, our programme combines the physical and social benefits of boxing with a deep understanding of mental health. Delivered by a team experienced in mental health settings, Off The Ropes offers a unique, compassionate approach to building strength — physically, mentally, and socially.
