November 14, 2026 | by Nabillah Akhtar
We’re excited to share two big updates from our Parkinson’s Boxing programme! From new funding opportunities for clubs to an exciting research partnership, we’re working to make boxing more accessible and highlight its benefits for people living with the disease.
England Boxing Launches Parkinson’s Club Fund
England Boxing is pleased to announce the launch of of its Parkinson’s Club Fund which has been designed to support affiliated boxing clubs who are hoping to establish new Parkinson’s boxing initiatives.
They will have the chance to apply for up to £500 in seed funding to help get their projects off the ground, which will create more opportunities for people living with Parkinson’s to access boxing sessions within their local communities.

Parkinson’s Impact Report
We are also delighted to reveal a brand new partnership with Liverpool John Moores University for a research and impact evaluation of the Parkinson’s Project and want to hear from you!
We have launched the first stage of our surveys to gather valuable feedback from participants, coaches and those involved in our Parkinson’s boxing programmes.
This research will help us better understand and demonstrate the physical, mental and social benefits of boxing for people living with Parkinson’s, while providing evidence to support the future development and growth of the programme.
