πŸ“’ BBC Coverage of the DCT Boxing Academy

We appreciate the BBC raising awareness about the issues we’re facing with the Hyson Green Youth Club (HGYC) Management Committee. However, we want to set the record straight:

❌ We did NOT "move" from the premises by choice.
β˜‘οΈ We were unlawfully evicted. The locks were changed without notice, leaving us unable to access the gym, train, or retrieve our property.

---

πŸ—£ Statement from HGYC Chair, Maxine Davis

She stated: "This is an internal matter which we're dealing with internally and our aim is to ensure a fair and reasonable outcome for all."

Here’s the truth:
β˜‘οΈ Maxine has not been in direct contact with us since the locks were changed.
β˜‘οΈ She has offered no resolution and has not visited the boxing club in years.
β˜‘οΈ She is rarely present at the Youth Club itself.

❓ So, What Have We Done?

We are taking this seriously and have already:
βœ… Sent numerous formal complaints and served a Letter Before Action (LBA) to the HGYC Management Committee.
βœ… Submitted a formal complaint to Nottingham City Council.
βœ… Reported the committee to the Charity Commission for negligent management and mishandling of charity funds.
βœ… Raised awareness via local press and media.
βœ… Sought legal advice from solicitors.

✊🏾 This Is Bigger Than Boxing

This is about ensuring Hyson Green Youth Club truly serves the community β€” as it was meant to β€” and is not held back by a negligent and out-of-touch management committee.

Radford deserves better. The community deserves better. And together, we can make change happen.
