Project Overview

Strood Boxing Club, founded 17 years ago to support a deprived community, provides a safe, affordable space for individuals aged 8-40 to learn boxing, gain confidence, and access new opportunities. VIY is refurbishing a gym by repairing walls, doors, and ceilings, and refreshing both the interior and exterior to create a more welcoming environment. These improvements aim to attract more members, particularly women, while helping the club continue its vital work of mentoring and empowering the local community.
