Save our children’s future

    As resident of New Addington in UK and a person deeply involved in uplifting our local community, the news of our community centre being sold for development and the eviction of our charity boxing club came as a shocking revelation. This place has been more than a building for us. It offered the youths a haven, a place to nurture dreams, and an assurance of safety in a society brimming with despair and violence.

    Our beloved boxing club has prevented countless young people from getting involved in knife crime and gang warfare. It stood as a beacon of hope and a symbol of positive impact on our region's youth. It has imparted invaluable lessons of discipline and respect to our young ones that are echoed across the New Addington community.

    According to the Office for National Statistics, there has been a significant increase in knife crime across the UK in the past decade. The services offered by our boxing club have helped counter this trend locally, serving as a much-needed refuge for our young residents.

    The sale of our community centre not only threatens the existence of our boxing club, but also rips the fabric of the community that has weaved diverse groups of individuals into a unified community, offering a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

    We urge the responsible authorities to halt the sale of our community centre. Its value lies not in the material composition, but in the hope and safety it imparts, materializing our vision of a better future for the youths of New Addington. We appeal for your help to preserve the boxing club, thereby ensuring that our youths have a safe haven and a way to stay away from the dangers of street violence and crime. Please, sign this petition and help us protect our treasured community centre and boxing club.
