Story

Hi everyone,

We are TLS Boxing CIC a community boxing club that’s deeply rooted in supporting young people through sport, mentorship, and positive connection. We’re not just about boxing. We’re about giving kids purpose, structure, and belonging, especially those who are facing challenges at home, at school, or in life.

Every week, we work with children and teenagers who rely on TLS for far more than training. For many, we are a second home a place where they feel safe, respected, and supported. But there's one major thing holding us back: transport.

Right now, we don’t have our own minibus. That means:

• Kids are missing out on tournaments and competitions because we can’t get them there

• Day trips and events which are vital for confidence, team-building, and life experience are limited

• Some young people struggle to attend regular sessions due to family or transport issues

• We spend time and resources coordinating lifts, which takes away from what we’re here to do

That’s why we’re raising money to buy a reliable second-hand minibus. This isn’t a luxury it’s a lifeline. A minibus will allow us to:

• Say yes to more opportunities, trips, and experiences

• Reach kids who live further out or in difficult circumstances

• Support parents and guardians who can’t always manage drop-offs or pickups

• Build stronger, more connected teams by traveling together

• Be there consistently for the young people who count on us

This minibus will give us freedom, flexibility, and stability, helping us do what we do best: be there for our community.

Our goal is to raise £5000. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to putting those wheels on the road and making sure no young person misses out because they couldn’t get a lift.

Please donate if you can or simply share this page to help spread the word.

Thank you for believing in what we do. Together, we can drive real change.

With gratitude,

The TLS Boxing CIC Team
