STEPHEN ADDISON

INSPIRE ME

Inspired in 2012 from the loss of

valued friends due to gang affiliation

and crime, Stephen Addison launched

the project ‘Box Up Crime’ in 2013, a

new initiative which provides social

change though social innovation. We

use sports, in particular boxing, as a

tool to inspire, educate and develop

young individuals, specifically those

who have been involved in crime.

This will be used as a foundation

to continually create awareness

and confidence building with

communities. We strive to develop

strong relationships with secondary

schools within the borough,

promising to provide assistance to

improve student’s behaviour.
