To help Children at Mile Oak Boxing Academy.

I'm Tracy Davies, the Regional Safeguarding Officer for Southern Counties, and also serve as the Club Secretary. Together with my husband, Bill Davies, a dedicated amateur and professional boxing coach, we've recently established a Boxing Club in Mile Oak.

The Mile Oak community has seen the unfortunate closure of many facilities, leaving children with limited recreational options. Our club is fortunate to be hosted by a local school, granting us access on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30pm, along with Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00am.

Operating a club incurs rent and various expenses. To ensure accessibility to all children, we've made every effort to keep costs as low as possible. Your support is instrumental in helping us create a safe and affordable space for the youth in our community.

The reasons for creating a GoFundMe page to raise money for children who can't afford doctors' fees and registration fees to provide them with full boxing kits at the Mile Oak Boxing Academy include:

Healthcare Access: Ensuring that children have access to doctors and medical care is vital for their well-being. This can help with early diagnosis and treatment of health issues, leading to healthier lives.

Financial Barriers: Some families may face financial constraints that prevent them from paying for doctors' fees and registration costs, making it difficult for their children to participate in activities like boxing.

Inclusivity: It's important to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their financial situation. By covering these costs, you can ensure that every child has the chance to participate in the Mile Oak Boxing Academy.

Skill Development: Boxing can teach valuable life skills, such as discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. Providing full boxing kits enables children to fully engage in the sport and benefit from these developmental opportunities.

Community Support: A GoFundMe page allows you to tap into the goodwill and support of the community, including friends, family, and even strangers who believe in your cause. It provides a platform for people to contribute to a meaningful and impactful initiative.

Equal Opportunity: By raising funds, you help level the playing field and give all children an equal opportunity to engage in sports and access healthcare resources.

Empowerment: Providing children with the necessary resources and support empowers them to pursue their interests and ambitions, building self-esteem and motivation.

Safety: Full boxing kits often include safety gear, which is crucial to prevent injuries during training and matches.

Community Building: A fundraiser like this can bring a community together, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

Long-term Benefits: Investing in children's health and their access to activities like boxing can have long-term benefits for their physical and mental well-being.
