The Story Behind Blake Development
What we do isn’t new — it’s what we’ve always done.
Previously, we operated as two branches: Blake Amateur Boxing Club, focusing on boxing and physical development, and The Blake Centre, which delivered mentoring and social development support for young people.
These two paths have always worked side by side — now they’ve come together under one name:
Blake Development.
This unified brand reflects the full scope of our mission: combining the power of boxing with structured mentoring and alternative education, supporting those who need something different to thrive — both in and out of the classroom.
ABOUT US
BLAKE
DEVELOPMENT
Blake Development is a community-driven organisation that blends boxing, mentoring, and alternative education to support young people and families.
We use the discipline and structure of boxing to build confidence, manage anxiety, and improve physical and mental wellbeing — while our tailored education and mentoring programmes create pathways for personal growth beyond the ring.
Our inclusive environment welcomes individuals of all ages, and we work especially closely with those who may struggle in mainstream settings — offering them the space, support, and structure to thrive.
Proudly affiliated with England Boxing, we provide opportunities to train and compete at various levels, nurturing talent and instilling discipline, respect, and a strong sense of community.
More than boxing. More than education.
Blake Development builds futures.

SUCCESS STORIES
My son started at Blake boxing about a year ago. I wanted him to join to build his confidence in himself. I have noticed a change in him since he joined. He's made many friends through the club and is progressing well. He has great support from the coach. It's a lovely club and everyone supports each other. They will always include everyone and everyone's abilities.

"I've only been to a couple of sessions with Blake Amateur Boxing Club but as someone who really struggles with crippling anxiety and bipolar/adhd Presley made me feel so relaxed and welcome and the confidence boost he gave me when I was at my most vulnerable was amazing..."
