No Messin' Live! is a series of free two-day events held across Britain during the school holidays when rail crime peaks. No Messin' gives you the chance to try a range of new activities such as boxing, wrestling, creative art, archery, karate, motor biking, freestyle football, climbing and much more.

At the launch of No Messin' Live! in Leeds today we see the champion boxer trying something new himself by swapping his boxing gloves for drum sticks and playing a track with up-and-coming teenage band The Irregulars. Together they show how anyone can uncover a talent by trying something new.
Amir said: "It's really important that young people realise they can be a winner just by taking part. No Messin' is a great campaign because it gives kids the chance to try something new for free as well as promoting the rail safety message."
"If you mess about on the railways the best you can hope for is that you won't get injured, arrested or even killed. By finding a real interest like I did you could be an Olympic athlete or even a number one recording artist... but you won't find out unless you try."

Amir Khan and No Messin'! open a new boxing gym and fitness community centre on 10 January 2008 in Bolton.
Fancy being one of the next generation of Amir Khans? Then you'll need to get really fit first - so check out your local fitness centre. If you're near Bolton, then you can get reasonably priced professional boxing training as well as keeping fit at this great new Gloves community centre. Amir said: "I'm really proud to open a centre for young people. I hope that Gloves will give kids a place to hang out, get fit and most importantly, keep safe. There's no excuse for mucking about on the railway or anywhere else. Working with No Messin'! I hope we can show kids that there's a much more fun way to spend time with your mates."
Amir has been involved with No Messin'! since 2006 and fronted No Messin' Live! 2007 last year. "I want to make people think twice about playing around on the train tracks. You may think you're fast and clever, but a train is faster, and what's clever about getting yourself killed?"
