Continued Support Our Fencing Club

Wow! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve not only surpassed our fundraising goal but also achieved extraordinary milestones for our club.

Your support has had a transformative impact, enabling us to upgrade our club kit and provide newer fencers with the opportunity to compete without needing to invest in their own equipment. This also means our school fencers can now attend squad sessions with full electric kits, leveling the playing field for all.

But that’s just the beginning—your contributions have allowed us to take even bigger strides. This term, we supplied 10 additional beginner kits to schools, expanding our weekly fencing programs to 4 new schools. As a result, more than 50+ children have been introduced to fencing in their schools, and 30 enthusiastic young fencers have advanced to join our school squad, now training with electric equipment and taking the next step in their fencing journeys.

While we’ve achieved so much already, we’re not stopping here. Our vision is to enhance our facilities for advanced fencers and our adult community. Our next goal? A state-of-the-art fencing wall at our dedicated venue in Barnet. This new feature will span the back wall, complete with mirrors and an advanced reaction wall, providing an unparalleled training experience to help our fencers sharpen their skills and reach their full potential.

Your unwavering support has always been the cornerstone of our success, and together, we can achieve even greater heights.

To bring this vision to life, we’re launching a new fundraising initiative. Every contribution—big or small—will make a significant difference. By investing in this project, you’re not only enriching the experience for current members but also laying the foundation for future generations of fencers to thrive in a world-class environment.

We may be a non-for-profit foundation but we dream of transforming our venue into a vibrant hub of skill-building, camaraderie, and passion for fencing. With your help, this dream can become a reality.

Thank you for believing in our mission to empower and inspire through this incredible sport.

Stay tuned for updates as we take the next exciting steps on this journey—together!

Why Fencing?

Despite common misconceptions, fencing is a sport open to enthusiasts from all walks of life. While often linked to opulence and historical aristocracy, modern fencing clubs are actively working to break down these barriers through affordable membership fees, loaner equipment, and scholarships. This inclusive approach allows everyone the chance to experience the art of fencing, fostering diversity and inclusivity within the community. Whether you're new to the sport or an experienced athlete, fencing offers a unique combination of physical challenge and strategic thinking.

Fencing is an exceptional sport for individuals of all ages, but it holds particular benefits for children, especially those on the autism spectrum. The sport's focus on discipline, concentration, and strategy helps enhance cognitive development and improve focus, providing a structured environment where children can thrive. For those on the spectrum, fencing offers a unique outlet, fostering social interaction, motor skills, and confidence in a supportive setting. The repetitive movements and clear rules in fencing can be comforting, encouraging children to step out of their comfort zones while still feeling secure. This balance of individual achievement and team support makes fencing an enriching experience for everyone, nurturing growth and personal development through its inclusive community.
