BUILDING SAFER COMMUNITIES
Our home, Argyle Community Fitness is where early intervention, recovery and community come together. Supporting children, young people and adults through positive role models and lived experience.
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.

Thank you for standing with our community. Every contribution, whatever the size, helps us keep our sessions free and someone's corner covered when they need it most.
