Run by Kirk Whitelock an avid boxing fan, level 1 boxing coach and Aberfeldy Village resident, the Aberfeldy Boxing Club was opened to respond to the needs of his community. 

"We opened the club with the intention of saving lives, getting kids out of knife crime, getting kids out of gangs" Kirk Whitelock

SOME FACTS!

Tower Hamlets are the 6th highest in London for knife crime.

Obesity in Tower Hamlets is the sixth highest in the country. With Tower Hamlets having the 5th highest proportion of obese 10 to 11 year olds in London and nearly 20.8% of children aged 4 to 5 year-olds suffering from obesity. 

Childhood obesity is associated with a wide range of health problems in both child & adulthood. Poor diet & low levels of physical activity increase the risk of other health issues.

Discipline and respect learnt through boxing has proven to have a positive future impacts
