We recycle knives into street gyms to empower disadvantaged young people.

Story

Steel Warriors is a charity that aims to reduce the number of young people carrying knives in the UK. We take seized and surrendered knives from London’s streets, melt them down, and recycle the steel into free outdoor calisthenics gyms. We believe lives should be built on steel, not destroyed by it.Steel Warriors want to provide the first network of free calisthenics gyms across the UK. We believe our gyms can make a real impact on affected communities, bringing people together and allowing them to build strength, confidence and discipline.

on the 24th Nov 2021, I will be doing 500 Burpees in one sitting with minimal rest times in memory of my Cousin Gee Smith.
