School of Hard Knocks

School of Hard Knocks is a registered NZ Charity that uses sport to tackle the issues surrounding unemployment, crime and health. We work with individuals to help them take responsibility and take positive steps forward in their lives.

First created in the UK in 2007 the charity started in NZ in December 2015. We run 8 week courses (2 days a week) that help people get fit and get back into work or training. We have some of NZ's best coaches and mentors onboard including Sir John Kirwan and Dr Paul Wood. Currently we don't receive any government funding so rely on donations to cover the costs of running the courses.
