We are doing ‘Dry January’ to raise money to help build the Christian Hobbs Gym at The Heart of England Community Boxing Club.

Christian was a dear friend of Henry at School - in his year and house - who tragically died suddenly on Boxing Day 2017, from heart failure. Christian was a keen and highly talented boxer. He trained at The Heart of England Community Boxing Club which has recently been forced to close.

No parent should ever lose their child, let alone a boy of just 17 years old. Christian's parents would like to help to build a new gym which is to be named in his honour. This requires a lot of money – and helping is the very least we can do.

We can't say it will be easy for us - we really do enjoy our wine! So if you can spur us on by supporting us, in any way, however large or small, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you. (Please bear in mind that if you donate anonymously we won’t even be able to see who you are and will be unable to thank you.)

The video below explains the project in full.

Please note: All proceeds (apart from the 5% JustGiving fee and any card processing fees) will go to The Heart of England Community Boxing Club. Please also note that this is a crowdfunding page as the Boxing Club does not have charitable status.
