Who are we?
Touch Gloves Boxing Club is a community-focused boxing gym based in Llandrindod Wells, offering training and fitness opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Established in May 2024 under the guidance of Movement Recreation Culture, the club is now led by Welsh Champion Owen Thomas.
Our club is more than just a place to box; it’s a space for personal growth, mental well-being, and fostering a sense of community. We currently support over 45 members, including competitive athletes, and a thriving junior group, providing them with the skills and confidence to reach their potential.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We’re raising £5,000 to help build a new, purpose-built facility for Touch Gloves Boxing Club. Our current space is limiting our growth and preventing us from expanding our junior programs and accommodating more members.
The new facility will be a modern structure, providing much-needed space for training, events, and personal fitness. With this project, we aim to create a lasting community resource that not only serves our members but also promotes health and well-being in the wider community.
Your support will make this vision a reality by helping us fund construction, purchase equipment, and set up the space to support our growing club.
How we’ll spend the money raised
This £5,000 is just the beginning—it will contribute to the £40,000 needed to build and fully equip a new, purpose-built facility for Touch Gloves Boxing Club. Every contribution helps us take a step closer to:
- Construction of the building: A new structure designed for boxing and fitness.
- New training equipment: Upgrading and expanding what we currently have to meet the needs of a growing club.
- Safety and furnishings: Ensuring the space is ready for members of all ages and abilities.
Your support will be instrumental in creating a facility that will benefit our community for years to come.
Community impact
Touch Gloves Boxing Club is more than just a gym—it’s a place where people come to improve their fitness, gain confidence, and connect with others. Our programs benefit:
- Young people: Teaching discipline, focus, and life skills through sport.
- Adults: Providing a space for mental and physical well-being.
- The wider community: Hosting events, boxing shows, and community fitness initiatives.
With a new facility, we’ll be able to offer more programs, welcome new members, and create a lasting positive impact in Llandrindod Wells and the surrounding areas.
