PUTTING WEAPONS DOWN.LIFTING PEOPLE UP.

A violence reduction and mental health organisation built from lived experience — free and low-cost support for children, young people and adults across Wirral.

Welcome to Weapons Down Wirral

We believe every young person deserves a way out of violence – even when the odds around them say otherwise. We've lived it ourselves, and we know change is possible.

Through boxing, fitness and mentoring delivered by role models who've walked the same path, we help young people and adults move away from violence, addiction and exclusion, and build the confidence, discipline and trusted relationships they need to choose a different future. Boxing isn't the point – it's how we get in the room. What happens next is real conversation, real role models, and real change.
