Public benefits

Purpose: The objectives of the Club are to promote the preservation and protection of health by the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare for the benefit of the local public in West and South Belfast (hereafter called the "area of benefit")without regard to age, ability,

disability, ethnic identity , nationality or religion and in particular to educate and assist people of all ages through boxing and other recreational activities so as to develop their physical fitness, mental and emotional capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and citizens and that their conditions of life may be improved. Public Benefit: The public benefit flowing from this purpose is based around our provision of boxing and other recreational activities to enhance physical, mental and emotional capacities, regardless of age, ability, disability, religion and ethnic identity. We aim to empower our participants to improve their well-being and life conditions through physical activity. The benefits achievable for those individuals involved include healthier lifestyles, social inclusion and development of skills and physical literacy. These benefits can be demonstrated clearly through feedback from our programme participants and through evidence gathered from relevant stakeholders around the benefits of sport and in particular boxing. The information is typically gathered through focus groups, direct consultation and feedback from beneficiaries. The Club’s beneficiaries are children, young people and adults. Our catchment area is predominantly South and West Belfast. There is no perceived harm or private benefit arising from this purpose.
