ABOUT BOXERS IN NEED

Our aim for this crowdfunding campaign is to raise as much money as possible to help boxers and boxing clubs at the grass roots level and 'Boxers In Need'.

I understand the struggles boxing clubs have throughout the country and the hard work and dedication that goes in to them by the coaches, who most often give their time for free. The funds we raise and donate will go direct to help as many as we can to self sustain.

For me, it all started quite a long time ago, Chadderton Boxing Club are a club I hold dear to my heart. I have sponsored the club for several years. When Covid hit the Uk, the club were in the middle of developing the gym and despite me sponsoring the club, they struggled to cover mounting costs. With my help we managed to finish the development of the gym and keep it afloat through that testing time.

On speaking with Carla and Jason who run Chadderton Boxing club, they say the kids on the local estate have nothing, they cannot even afford 50p to pay subs. Carla and Jason let these kids in the gym for free and allows them train.

I am guessing this is a similar story all over the UK and without people like them there would be no boxing. To help raise funds for 'Boxers In Need' we have many ideas. As well as our MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM for just £12 per year we also have a JUST GIVING PAGE we hope to raffle off boxing memorabilia, sponsored events and a brand new podcast featuring world renowned boxing coach Peter Fury. 

As funds are raised, we will invite anyone from the boxing community to apply for our help with their project and our board will asses and donate to the cases in order of need.

As well as 'Boxers in Need' we will also be raising awareness to other causes close to mine and Peters hearts and thats...

Dementia UK - https://www.dementiauk.org and MND Association - https://www.mndassociation.org
