Why We’re Raising Money for TLS Boxing CIC

At TLS Boxing CIC, we believe boxing is about so much more than what happens inside the ring. It’s about building confidence, improving mental health, developing discipline, creating opportunities and giving people a safe place where they feel supported, valued and part of a community.

We are a not-for-profit community boxing gym based in Vauxhall, South London, working with children, young people and adults from all walks of life. We support young people who may be facing challenges at home, struggling with their mental health, lacking confidence or at risk of going down the wrong path. Through boxing, mentoring and positive role models, we help people develop resilience, self-belief and skills they can carry with them throughout their lives.

We also welcome people with disabilities, additional needs and those who may struggle to access other sporting opportunities. Our aim is to make boxing and physical activity accessible, inclusive and welcoming to everyone.

TLS was built from the ground up by a small group of local parents who wanted to make a real difference in their community. We have put our own time, money and hard work into transforming a derelict building into a place where people can train, learn, grow and feel safe. Our coaches and volunteers give their time because they believe in what we do and the difference we can make.

We currently run regular boxing and fitness sessions, including free Friday sessions for children aged 7–14. We want to keep these opportunities available to families who cannot afford regular sports fees, while expanding our support for young people, disabled participants and those who need extra guidance and encouragement.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference. Your support will help us cover essential running costs, maintain our facilities, provide boxing equipment, deliver free and inclusive sessions, train our coaches and volunteers, and continue offering positive opportunities to local people.

We receive no regular guaranteed funding, and keeping a community gym running takes a huge amount of commitment and resources. We don't want financial circumstances to prevent a child or young person from accessing a safe environment, positive role models and the chance to reach their potential.

By donating to TLS Boxing CIC, you are not simply supporting a boxing gym. You are helping to build confidence, strengthen our community, support mental wellbeing and give people opportunities they might not otherwise have.

If you can donate, share our page or help spread the word, we would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution helps us continue the work we care so much about.

Thank you for believing in TLS Boxing CIC and helping us make a difference, one person at a time.
