Lambeth residents and team Lambeth boxing have set up a petition to put pressure on Lambeth council to allow and find premises for a free boxing club / support hub with onsite youth workers and young mentors with professional counsolours, we have professional boxers and trainers that will work with the young people of our community. Streatham young people have told me that their is nothing like boxing around for them to channel there energies, boxing will help them with self esteem, confidence which all kids want,
Please sign our Petition thank you for your support
whilst the riots are some time ago,and a lot of important people like the council members and mp's want to forget it all,the poverty and the lack of opportunity that was part of the cause of the riots are very much still with us.
In fact it could be argued that any public investment in team Lambeth boxing works,there's less kids going through the criminal justice system, or being treated by the NHS for knife /gun/etc injuries, all of which will save the tax payer a lot more then would be the case. They should see it as a investment than in the medium term will save money and be a force for good in the community.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that our community recognizes the urgent need for a youth hub. It is clear that many people agree this initiative represents a vital investment in our collective future.

all my 3 boys boxed at camberly boxing club and pine wood star best thing they ever done
please help.this boxing club . looking after young boys and girls.all the staff giving their time for free.
This club will be very important in that area. It will help kids concentrate and be more focused in life. A boxing club can change a lot of kids life like it changed mine. It can stop a kid going on the wrong path in life it can also make the kids concentrate more on their education
I've been involved in boxing since I was six years old,and it's been the best education I could ask for,dissapline is second to none and without boxing it's pretty obviouse how my life would of gone because of my surroundings,I'm now 44 years old and teach fighters professionally and build them as young decent men!every bourough in every city in every country in the world should have boxing gyms,it should be criminal to do away with boxing gyms such as Lambeth abc!
please help for all the young children that will help them and give them a chance in life,
the government of the day should be funding boxing clubs throughout the country. They teach discipline, respect for others and hardwork.
A very worthy cause - young people need direction NOT knifes

Maybe given the youths of Streatham a centre to attend where they are being taught disapline and where they can left of some pent up aggression and frustration would help them.
