It is our aim to promote boxing and community activity in the local area, to

to develop partnerships and co-ordination with all interested and relevant local
groups/voluntary bodies.
We hope to identify and assist local community initiatives which may benefit the
development of both the local community and boxing. We recognise the physical,
emotional, pyschological and social attributes of boxing and believe that our sport
is particularly well positioned to attract people whom other mainstream team
based sports may be missing. Boxing can provide participants with the chance to
learn new skills, gain in self-confidence and improve their fitness levels. As an
individual pursuit boxing actually encourages collaboration with others.
We hope to promote boxing as a sport capable of attracting a diverse range of
people and encouraging community cohesion. We would also like to promote
boxing as an afterschools activity, collaborate with schools and help them
provide a more balanced sporting programme as outlined by the Department of
Education and Science.
