Dear Sir/Madam
Re: Kingston BC Webpage
My name is Samantha Sullivan BSc and I am club secretary for Kingston Boxing Club. I am writing on behalf of the club to give reference for Veronika Lesnakova.
We are based on Hessle High Road in the Old Whaling Museum premises. Our registered charity commission number is above. We teach amateur boxing skills and run fitness classes to and for the local community. We are an affiliated boxing club, our governing body being England Boxing. This enables our members to compete in bouts and championships locally and nationally. We also offer dietary and nutritional advice to promote healthy living. Along with this we in still life skills such as discipline, self confidence, manners and general respect for others. We encourage social interaction between members from all different backgrounds.
We keep people fit, healthy and active. We hold boxing shows and events regularly where all the community can view and participate in what we do. We currently train both genders from 5 years old up to open age. We have nearly 200 members and over 2000 facebook followers. We believe this is fantastic for a local community club, run solely by a team of volunteers, who all have jobs and families to run. We are showing continuous growth and development as the years go on, and we are confident this will continue into the future. We have members from disadvantaged backgrounds and different social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Non members benefit from the shows we put on for community entertainment.
We improve the local environment because our facility offers a hub for all different groups of people, who want to focus on something positive and learn something new. We help give people peace of mind. We can also benefit people by improving the well being of those experiencing exclusion or prejudice within the community. We remain accessible to everyone by keeping subs to a minimum. The whole community can benefit from what we do.
When Veronika approached me and asked if she could create a web page for our club, we were happy to consider the idea. She was polite, enthusiastic, and wanted to help. When taking into account how popular our current Facebook page is, and how we are continuously growing, we decided an active webpage would be a great opportunity to expand and move forward even further. Whilst dealing with Veronika throughout her project, she has been vivid with her vision for the site, and thorough with her explanations.
She has also been understanding and accommodating when taking into account what we want to achieve from the website, and how we plan to use it. As volunteers with limited technology knowledge, she understood straight away we need a site that is simple to manage, but effective. She has been flexible and patient when requiring information and meetings from us also.
Now Veronika has informed us her project is nearly complete, we have asked that she give us a lesson in how to edit and manage the page. She agreed straight away and is happy to help with this. We look forward to seeing how the page will help the club become even more established, and what advantages it will bring to us and our members.
Yours Faithfully
