YourStance announces Gabrielle Passelle, one of London’s most exciting young boxing talents, as their first-ever Ambassador.
Gabriel is a vegan pro boxer in London. We were drawn to Gabriel’s passion for empowering young people, as he says:
“Boxing taught me that real strength is about protecting others, not just yourself. YourStance is giving young people across London life-saving skills and the confidence to step up when someone needs help. Young people are learning to be real-life champions – and that’s something I’m proud to support.”
YourStance runs CPR and bleed control workshops in community settings, teaching vital life saving skills to people at risk of serious youth violence.
Delivered by a team of volunteer doctors, nurses, and clinicians, workshops train and empower young people aged 11-25 to become ‘Zero Responders’ before a first responder arrives – a time which can be the difference between life and death.
Since 2019, YourStance has trained over 6,600 young people. In 2024, 26% of the 1,961 young people who took part in YourStance workshops were victims of serious youth crime, showing the importance of providing young people with training.
With the support of Gabriel as their first the new Ambassadors, YourStance aims to double the number of young people they work with over the next 3 years.
Ana Waddington, Founder and Co-Director, YourStance:
“We’re so proud to have Gabriel join us as our first-ever Ambassador. Boxing takes a huge amount of ambition, resilience, and hope – we know he’ll be a great role model to the young Londoners we work with.”
