Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the Club’s charitable purposes are: (a) (i) Improved community life and citizenship by enabling affordable access to a community based sports facility; (ii) acquisition of skills through coaching, mentoring and training in amateur boxing. (b) (i) Increased health, well-being, and physical fitness of
participants in the community. (ii) increased positive mental health levels and improved quality of life. (c) Provide opportunities for physical activity/ recreation to under-represented groups in society and those that suffer from isolation. This will include providing young people with attractive alternatives to risk taking behaviours. (d) (i) Enhanced personal development, leading to positive behavioural change, and improved self-esteem, confidence and social skills; (ii) reduction in anti-social behaviour and low level crime; (iii) enhanced understanding and tolerance of others; (iv) building ambition and potential; (v) connecting young people to their communities. These benefits can be evidenced by feedback from parents, schools, and participants; records of health & well-being progression via questionnaire’s; competition results and monitoring/ evaluations of the impact of the organisation’s programmes. In relation to harm, amateur boxing is a contact sport which carries with it the risk of injury, however, this risk is mitigated and reduced by employing best practice safety measures prescribed by the Governing Body, such as head-guards and relevant protective equipment, which safeguards participants. For all fitness and well-being activities, risk assessments, participant heath screening and health & safety policies are in place so that the harm is greatly outweighed by the benefits. The beneficiaries are the general public, but in particular children and young people. No private benefit arises.
