Hi, I’m Ruari. This is UNdamaged Goods, a podcast created to give inner-city young people, especially those out of mainstream school, a platform to voice their opinions and tell their stories. For this first series, I'm getting to know the students at The Hackney Boxing Academy.

In this episode, I am joined by three special guests, two ex-Hackney Boxing Academy students, Kevin and Jonathan, plus actor, rapper, producer, writer, director and painter, Ed Skrein. We look at what happens next - how school affected them, the positive impact boxing and The Hackney Boxing Academy has had on them and how their lives changed for the better.
