We were honored to welcome Councillor Victor James to Wellingborough Amateur Boxing Club, where he engaged with our young athletes and experienced firsthand the positive impact our club has on the community.
Councillor James, who represents the Croyland Ward on Wellingborough Town Council, has been a dedicated advocate for youth empowerment and community development. Since his election in June 2024, he has initiated projects like “Operation Clean Up Croyland” and collaborated with local law enforcement on the Street Watch scheme to enhance safety and well-being in our area.
During his visit, Councillor James shared his insights:
“🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Rays, Charlie, Sharon, and Andy for your warm welcome to Wellingborough’s only Amateur Boxing Club! 🥊
Hearing from our young fighters, it’s clear that boxing empowers them, instils family spirit, and helps them avoid trouble. Many have found mental well-being and purpose through this sport, making a real difference in our community.
In light of rising county line crimes, it’s crucial for local leaders to unite and secure permanent building and resources for this club. Investing in youth through mentorship and diversionary programs is essential. Let’s focus on proactive measures that uplift our future generations, reduce crime, and foster resilience.
Together, we can create a thriving environment where our youth flourish and contribute positively. Let’s champion these initiatives for a brighter tomorrow! 💪✨ #Wellingborough #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityFirst #VictorJames”
We are grateful for Councillor James’s support and recognition of our efforts to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young people. His commitment to securing resources for community programs aligns with our mission to empower youth through boxing and mentorship.
