We would like to update you on our gym's progress. Firstly, we are thankful for your tremendous support over the past year and a half. Your assistance has been invaluable, and we truly appreciate it. When we started, we never anticipated such overwhelming support, and we are grateful for the materials, time, and help you've given us.

Internally, our gym is fully completed, with attention to even the smallest details. However, we've encountered an issue with the electrician's work not meeting the required standards. While the local authority initially agreed to handle the electrical work, they have now backed out, after 3 months leaving us in a difficult situation. An electrical company has quoted £25,000 for the necessary electrical updates, but we unfortunately cannot afford it.

We wanted to keep you informed about our progress and current challenges. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to set an opening date yet. We are eager to open our doors as soon as possible to support the community. Parents and children frequently inquire about our opening, and it's disheartening to disappoint them due to the electrical delay. Although we hoped to open during the school holidays, we are determined to persevere.

To fund the electrical work, we have launched this page. It would be amazing if you could kindly share this page on your social media platforms. Your ongoing support means the world to us, and we are grateful for your continued assistance in moving forward.

We believe that together, we can overcome this hurdle. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to opening our doors and providing a safe, enriching environment for our community's youth. We are committed to transparency and will continue to keep you updated on our progress.

In addition to financial contributions, we welcome any suggestions or ideas for alternative funding sources or partnerships that could help us reach our goal more swiftly. Your insights and connections are invaluable to us.

HOW WE BEGAN....Just a friendly reminder or in case you missed our earlier request: we initially sought permission from the local authority to repurpose an old building into a safe haven for a boxing gym. Upon acquiring this abandoned structure, which had sat idle for more than two decades, we discovered it was in a deplorable state – with a leaky roof, years of neglect, and shattered windows. Given its dire condition, a complete renovation was necessary. Despite lacking funding, we poured our hearts into reviving it through sheer determination and hard work. Your support is all we need to bring this project to completion.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and dedication to our mission. We are confident that with your help, we will soon be able to celebrate the grand opening of our gym and begin making a positive impact on the lives of many.

Warm regards,
