Story

Its 86 flights of stairs - 1,576 stairs to the top of the Empire State Building could you complete the #EmpireStateOfMindChallenge?

You could climb 1,576 steps up your staircase at home, or climb 86 flights of stairs at work, whatever stairs you have access to this summer take on the challenge and help us to transform more young lives through boxing .

Use Strava to track your progress and get your friends and family involved at a safe social distance! Lockdown has been a hard time for lots of people, so why not use the new ease in restrictions get active whilst taking on one of the greatest fundraising challenges of all time.

Your fundraising will make a huge difference now more than ever, the lockdown to fight Coronavirus will have a devastating impact on Bristols vulnerable young people. Poverty will rise within the deprived neighbourhoods in which we work as more people lose their jobs. For families in poverty, missing work means missing meals. Rising tensions in the home combined with the removal of the safety net of school create a perfect storm for domestic violence and abuse.

The toxic economic and social conditions will deepen mental health issues. We are already hearing from young people how the situation is increasing emotional distress, including low mood, stress, anxiety and depression.

Your support will help to fund our unique combination of non-contact boxing, mentoring, education, therapy and careers work to help young people realise and reach their true potential.

About the charity

Empire Fighting Chance was born on the streets to fight the impact of inequality on young people’s lives. Our powerful combination of non-contact boxing and intensive personal support challenges and inspires young people to realise their unique potential.
