There are many young people who find a mainstream school environment difficult, and schools need access to quality, affordable alternative education provision.
We use boxing, education and mentoring to inspire, engage and connect. And we’re dedicated to drive achievement and positive behaviour changes in every young person referred to us. We offer alternative provision across Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire, Wolverhampton and the West Midlands.

Being around people that are going through the same things as me, but helping each other on the programme and in life shows me I'm not alone.
The programme has shown me how I can be in control. I am responsible and will achieve my goals.
Brightstar has given me a future.
We started as a boxing club, but we’re now so much more.
I now have the right people around me.
The coach has been through what I have been through. If he can change, so can I.
We have seen him use the coping strategies put in place within the school and it has kept him calm.
Thank you to Bright Star. The young people have opened up more than ever and we have been able to get the right support in place for them.
The students look forward to attending every week. The provision has improved their school experience.
I’ve always tried to blame other people, I’ve not learned what I can control.
I am able to release my aggression in a positive way.
