Empowering Notting Hill through Community Boxing

Our primary focus is our community. Notting Hill boasts a diverse blend of cultures, who have shaped a dynamic and flourishing environment.

Notting Hill Boxing will serve as a community hub, connecting members and facilitating a safe environment to form friendships, create a support network, and cultivate a strong bond among fellow boxers.

Ultimately, the club will function as a collective, encouraging community cohesion. Where members can share meaningful experiences and foster long lasting positive relationships.

Notting Hill Boxing Club will provide programs specifically tailored for youth development. These programs offer a structured environment where young individuals can learn discipline, teamwork, and develop ambition.

Through the provision of a positive avenue for channeling energy and aggression, these programs contribute to the redirection of focus and energy towards a constructive and disciplined pursuit. This, in turn, diminishes the probability of engaging in negative behaviours.

With community being the core of Notting Hill Boxing, our objective is to make a positive contribution to young individual’s mental health. Engaging in boxing can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression whilst improving overall mood and well-being.

Following the easing of Covid-19 lockdown measures, we have worked together to provide these benefits to those in our community, irrespective of age, race or gender. At present, training predominantly takes place outdoors (weather permitting), with minimal equipment and structure.

Recognising the need for more impactful coaching, we acknowledge that securing an indoor facility is essential. This space would enable us to conduct highly organised training and establish a dedicated hub for our community.

The funding will be used to pay 12 months rent plus most of our equipment, which will include:

-4 punch bags

-4 sets of mitts

-A boxing ring

-Skipping ropes

-AIBA approved head guards

-AIBA approved sparring gloves

-Defibrillator

-Appropriate insurance

Any support, shares and donations, no matter how small, would be hugely appreciated by us!

We value all and any support, not just financial. Spreading the word can be as impactful as a financial contribution so please share this with your friends, family and colleagues! With sincere gratitude for joining us on this journey.
