Public benefits
•The benefits are demonstrated ultimately by the improved health and wellbeing of the participants. Through a programme of instructed fitness training which includes awareness of diet and the potential damage of chemical substances to physical and mental health it is felt that we can encourage a more rounded individual via our
organisation. •There is no harm flowing from the organisations purposes. We envisage positive outcome by encouraging young people to come to a place of safety under a professionally controlled environment to participate actively to the betterment of their own wellbeing. •There is no private benefit flowing from from the organisations purposes. All those in position of authority working with the organisation are doing so in a totally voluntary capacity. As the organisation is governed by the authority of the mandated committee there is no opportunity for any such private benefit. Sandy Row Amateur Boxing has been running since 1998 on a voluntary basis and will continue to do so for the forseeable future. •The ultimate beneficiaries are without doubt those young people from the community of Sandy Row, Donegal Road, Village, Donegal Pass, Lisburn Road, greater south and west Belfast who participate in the programme. There should, in the longer term, also be benefit to the wider community as a consequence of the youth gaining more confidence, discipline and respect for themselves and others through our work.

We are an amateur boxing club. Encouraging young people to participate through fitness training and healthy lifestyle projects. A typical visit to our gym would include skipping, spin bags, running machines/tread mills, rowing machines, punch bags. hand-pads and sparring for those who are more advanced. The young people also learn social skills
through meeting other people at the club and travelling to shows and competitions. Many of our members have gone on to compete in amateur contests as far away as the USA.
