Each time someone joins up to the Official Pink Belt Kickboxing Empowerment Programme, we donate to charity. We run this programme to help people take control of their lives, to build confidence and empower themselves. Knowing that throughout their own jurney of self descovery, they will be helping someone else, somewhere in the world just by joining up is an added incentive to help.
Pink Belt Kickboxing have 3 chosen charities we donate to on behalf of our student(s), you. However, if you feel strongly about a certaian cause that is perhaps closer to home than our preferred, we will of course send your contribution to your chosen charity. This is typically agreed between you and your coach on your initial meeting.
You can read about our preferred charities, and donate below. You don’t need to be a student of Pink Belt to donate. Just hit the buttons below to offer your support.
Because I am a Girl
At least one in five adolescent girls around the world is denied an education by the daily realities of poverty, conflict and discrimination. Every day, girls are taken out of school and forced into work, or married off to strangers where they risk isolation and abuse. Missing out on school can mark the end of a girl having any choice over her own future.
Girls hold the power to help break the cycle of poverty. With education, skills and the right support, girls can make choices over their own future and be a huge part of creating lasting change.

Breast Cancer Awareness
BCA is an effort to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of breast cancer through education on symptoms and treatment. Supporters hope that greater knowledge will lead to earlier detection of breast cancer, which is associated with higher long-term survival rates, and that money raised for breast cancer will produce a reliable, permanent cure.
Many of us know someone who has been touched by cancer of some sort. Raising awareness about early detection, how to check, preventative measures etc should be adhered to and explored.
We use Pink Ribbon Foundation to help fight the good fight against cancer.
