In the charity's own words
Steel Warriors believe that young lives should be built on steel, not destroyed by it. We are an innovative sport for good charity, the only one in the UK to melt down seized knives turning the steel into outdoor gyms. Using the sport of calisthenics, we transform the lives of young people affected by crime, violence and social exclusion, giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
