We know sports clubs play a vital role in their community - not only do they help to unite different groups of people; they provide an escape from everyday life. A boxing group in Great Yarmouth is leading the way with this as it engages members in physical activity and supports young people who need self-confidence to deal with anti-social behaviour. Only opening in 2018, they already have 3 title winners under their belts!
We are thrilled to announce we have awarded funding to the wonderful boxing club the Spartans ABC. The grant was used to purchase specialist equipment that allows them to compete to required AIBA equipment standards. These items will allow all their boxers to compete at the highest level and at national boxing events.
“The funding will buy boxing gloves and head-guards so more members can be involved in boxing shows.”
“The funding is a fantastic contribution to the club as it will be spent on extra equipment for the ever-growing number of young children joining Spartans ABC. We have a large number of enthusiastic, talented and aspiring young boxers and the funding will buy boxing gloves and head-guards so more members can be involved in boxing shows which we actively participate in on a weekly basis, across the country,” said coach Tony Norman.
If you are part of an amazing sports team and would like to apply for up to £500 of funding, then we are taking applications for awarding in February 2020.
