"Charging members is not an option because many young people come from low-income backgrounds and are growing up in some of the most deprived areas of London. Broad Street is the only boxing club in the capital to offer free training, and over the years has prevented numerous young people from turning to crime, instead nurturing them into boxing champions."
"I just don't think the council has taken into account what we've been doing and the service that we provide. It's always been about helping the community, not just boxing. This club has been a lifeline for many young individuals who wouldn’t have had access to such opportunities."
"The club, which has been operational since 1886, is the last remaining outpost of the Highway Clubs charity, demonstrating its longevity and commitment to supporting local youth, which the council should recognize and support rather than impose a prohibitive rent increase."
