DC Boxing
DC Boxing was founded in 2019 as a community group by Ian Huddleston and David Robinson. The initial idea of the project came from doing community organising “listenings” on the doorstep in and around Dinnington. After speaking to over 200 residents, the main issues that came out of those conversations were that there was a lot of antisocial behaviour in the area and nothing for the young people to do.
From this feedback the group decided it would be beneficial to speak to the young people of the area to get their thoughts and ideas, so we ran a workshop at the local youth club, and they overwhelmingly said that there weren’t enough sporting activities to do. There is a lack of local provision for young people in the area for sporting activities, so this project looked to be a way of addressing these issues and will engage young people.
