Story
I pass the Islington Boxing Club several times a week and have read a bit about the excellent work they do for young people and athletes of all ages in my local community. They are long overdue a purpose-built venue, which will house a traditional boxing gym, designed to serve the elite boxer as well as the academy and junior boxer, but also recreational classes, keep fit sessions and a multipurpose gym, available to all.
Education is also at the heart of the Club's plans. A designated classroom will enable lessons in nutrition and sport science, whilst a treatment room will offer sports massage and associated treatments. England Boxing and the Great Britain Olympic team will benefit from this facility as well.
The work to raise the £5 million required is now underway. If you can spare some money to help get there, it will be appreciated by generations of Londoners.
