The current rented space is suffering from mould and damp, and recently had a portion of its ceiling collapse
A campaign to build a charity a new facility in Nottingham has been backed by long-time patrons Torvill and Dean. Nottinghamshire -based Marcellus Baz Foundation – which encompasses Switch Up and the Nottingham School of Boxing – announced its plans for a new building which will combine its community services
The foundation’s current rented space is suffering from mould and damp, and recently had a portion of its ceiling collapse, rendering it unfit for purpose. Fundraising was kickstarted on the night by a £100,000 donation from BNA Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and £50,000 from Experian, which organised the launch event hosted by Switch Up patron Darren Fletcher.
Speaking as the campaign for the new building was announced, Marcellus Baz thanked the patrons for their support, and welcomed pledges from the audience in the room to kickstart the fundraising. Marcellus said: "Switch Up works on a five-pillar system which combines mentoring, education, employability and counselling with physical activity.
