ALMBOX rising from the ashes
Nottingham, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
Aim
Following an arson attack in 2021 we are rising from the ashes and rebuilding our club. We desperately need equipment to do so.
Who we are:
A proud England Boxing affiliated club, Aldercar and Langley Mill Boxing Club has served many generations, giving access to boxing & changing lives.
A place for people to thrive, learn new skills and take part in the sport of boxing. A true boxing family built on trust, respect and discipline open to all.
Why are we crowdfunding?
In 2021 our club was burnt down in an arson attack, this could have been the end of Aldercar and Langley Mill Boxing Club. However through our insurance, the determination of the team, our sponsors, supporters and friends we have managed to rebuild the club. Due to launch in summer 2023, the insurance has made this possible-however from the settlement pay out to the actual work starting, building costs and materials went through the roof! This huge increase used all our reserves and the insurance money for equipment has been swallowed up by the building works. We need equipment or we cannot open.
We need to furnish the club once again with equipment, with punch bags, a boxing ring, flooring, gloves, pads, skipping ropes, slam balls, changing rooms, and proper facilities to train and enjoy boxing once more.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The funds raised will purchase all the equipment we need, from a boxing ring, to bags, boxing gloves and head guards, all the equipment we need to be able to reopen our state of the art club on time.
Community impact
Stick a boxing club in any location and you will see crime and antisocial behaviour go down. You will hear stories of how the most disengaged and troubled young people changed their lives and rewrote their future using the platform of boxing to achieve and develop. We connect with young people on a level that encourages them to come down and get involved in a positive experience and become part of our family. Boxing is extremely popular right now, and its supporting young people mentally, physically and emotionally in tough times. Teaching discipline, skills and giving purpose - we have given so much as a club, and strive to do so for many more young people in future years. Aldercar and Langley Mill has its challenges- but we are a strong proud community. Together, lets give it back its strong proud boxing club for generations to come.
