Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from these purposes are increased health and fitness for the participants, increased social development and increased personal skills or relevant qualifications as well as the improved provision of facilities for sport where these may not otherwise be available. The direct benefits can be evidenced through the
growing number of members, the growing number of competition boxers and measurable improvements in the health, fitness and skill of the participants. Volunteers evidence their growing skills with accredited and non-accredited training and qualifications. In relation to ‘harm’, the trustees acknowledge that boxing is a contact sport which carries with it the risk of injury but this risk is reduced through employing safety measures which protect participants, for example head-guards or body protection and having active policies in place. The harm is outweighed by the benefits. The beneficiaries of the club are anyone who wishes to join and in particular its members, volunteers and committee. There is no private benefit flowing from any of its purposes and any which do flow are incidental and necessary.
