Traffic Light System Boxing CIC- TLS Boxing CIC

"I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." Mohammed Ali

TLS Boxing CIC was established in August 2022 to serve the residence of SW8, Vauxhall and the wider area. The gym will use boxing and associated activities to create a positive change in the lives of individuals within the community. We want to deliver regular classes for different age groups, accessible classes for those children and young people with additional needs. Eventually we want to provide mentoring for young people, including support with apprenticeships, career opportunities, create volunteering prospects and training opportunities for local people with the hope of changing peoples social or economic circumstances in a positive way.

TLS Boxing CIC has rented a derelict building from Lambeth Council. Unfortunately, the building needs a considerable amount of refurbishments to allow it be fit and functional for us to get the boxing gym fully functional. As well as the rent and utilities and the overall building works, there are numerous costly purchased required. We need new windows, a roof and a new kitchen installed; plumbing, lighting  and electrical works. The building in its current state has been water damaged and been affected by the elements. All the damage will need to be fixed prior to painting and design of the new building.

The community centre hall, which is badly damaged.

The current project is estimated at around £120,000. We have applied for funding but have received none at present, so we are asking for help and support to aquire the funds. We are asking for donations for our sponsored walk. All are welcome to join us as we walk from the gym to the London Eye (Waterloo).

Training in the park

Currently the children and young people are training in parks and local spaces, to keep the regular training going.

The team will be doing a sponsored walk from the gym to the London Eye (Waterloo) to raise funds and awareness, in order to generate the monies required to be able to open the doors. If you would like to join us please do contact us!
