At Bright Star we use boxing and education to empower everyone to make changes that transform their lives. Our boxing academy is based in Shifnal, Shropshire. We run a variety of sessions to suit absolutely everyone, including our competitive amateur squad, open adult sessions and our Ministars for kids.

Changing lives through boxing, education and community.
We know the massive difference boxing, education and community support can make when it comes to empowering these positive changes, especially for vulnerable people and young people at risk. And we achieve this across Bright Star, through our Bright Star Boxing Academy, our Education provision and Community programmes.
Bright Star Education
Bright Star Futures is our alternative education programme. We work with young people aged 10-16 who are finding a mainstream school environment challenging and who may be at risk of being permanently excluded or becoming NEET.
Bright Star Community
We use a combination of boxing and talking in our Community sessions to support varied and vulnerable groups. These sessions include our Counterpunch mental health groups and mentoring.
