Steel Warriors is an anti-knife crime charity that transforms weapons of violence into tools of empowerment. We melt down knives taken off the streets and recycle the steel into outdoor street gyms. Through street workout, we help young people affected by crime, violence, and social exclusion build the skills and confidence they need to shape positive futures.
Our vision is to see more young lives are built on steel, not destroyed by it. By creating a UK-wide network of gyms—a street workout movement—we aim to inspire young people to pursue their passions, achieve their goals, and foster stronger, safer, and more loving communities.

““Steel Warriors is a great charity and trying to turn a negative into a positive. Knife crime is a real issue in London so we’re going to attack it.””
“Cue The Steel Warriors effect. A three-fold impact, it firstly takes knives off the streets.
Secondly, it dissuades impressionable members of the community from being absorbed
into gang culture and, thirdly, transforms the area from a potential hotbed for crime into
something considerably more community-focused.”
“The Steel Warriors gym raises awareness of knife crime whilst providing a safe, positive community space and an outlet for young people, helping to take knives off the streets and drive home the message that carrying one is more likely to ruin your life than save it.
