Build Wellingborough a full time boxing gym.

What the petition asks

Build Wellingborough a full time boxing gym that’s open everyday for all of those that love the sport or even go there to stay off the streets. Instead of renting sports rooms. Boxing can help people a lot and keep youngsters off the streets and using energy in a different way.
Boxing has changed so many peoples lives. It teaches you respect. It keeps youngsters out of trouble. It makes a difference. You learn to be confident. You learn to look after yourself. You create friendships. You can turn a dream into reality. You gain respect from so many people and it is so rewarding.
