We teach healthy living and healthy eating. We discuss dangers of carrying knives and the negative aspects of gang activity. The purpose of the club is to give members as sense of pride and the tools to enable them to have positive aspirations. We promote healthy living and reduce crime/antisocial behaviour, through the use of sport. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The club was established in 1990, are currently based in Spring Lane inclusion Centre, we work with young people from the local area plus the surrounding areas. We strongly believe that sport can contribute to reducing crime and contributes to community safety. The club has a strong believe that sport reduces the risk factors associated with crime. The club provides a diversionary activities that enables young people to stay safe, healthy and enables young people to make choices that are beneficial to their future. The club provides disadvantaged and vulnerable young people an opportunity to take part in positive activities. We are based I an exclusion centre, the staff at the school use the facility in the day and we use it in the evenings. Our membership has grown, some of our members are from the local area however we have members from other areas of Sheffield and neighbouring areas such as Rotherham and Chesterfield. Sheffield has had its share of knife related crime over the past year, we work closely with the police, youth justice service and the youth service who have all backed our recent sport not crime initiative. We have seen an increase in young people who want to train however they do not want to compete, as such we have decided that we will pilot an extra evening solely for this cohort. We have recently taken referrals from the youth justice service and this has gone very well, one young person has stated that he would like to compete next season. Our Membership has increased and we have also had an increase in females. We are working closely with Sheffield Youth Justice Service and Sheffield’s Leaving Care Service. We have run several successful programmes which have included, punch like a girl, this was a really successful programme for women, and we look at fitness, weight loss, healthy living and resilience. This was delivered in our gym and also in community hubs. Ronny Tucker works for the youth justice service and he has lead for knife/gun crime and violent youth violence. This has enabled us to forge valuable links with this service. The programmes that we have ran have received support from the local police inspector who supports the work that we do. Unfortunately the area where we are based has seen another spike in violent crime in particularly gun crime, unfortunately a 12 year old boy was shot, although he recovered from his injuries it highlighted a need to have a closer link with the community. We offered sessions to the community to allow the young people to train in a safe environment. It has been another successful season for females, one of our females travelled to Ireland and won the box cup competition we have also increased our female coaching staff by two. The starting age for us is 9 however we have had several people who have asked for the age group to be lowered, this is something that we may consider however it would have to be in the form of a Saturday morning club, which could be another strain on volunteer’s time. The trustees have read the guidance re the main activities, how we will deliver them and the benefit to the local community and members of the club. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **TAR** March **2012** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## Section D Achievements and erformance p We have had some success in the championships and in the female box **Summary of the main** cup, we had planned to travel to Germany for a competition however due **achievements of the charity** to the pandemic we were unable to do so. During Lockdown the gym has **during the year** been closed on a few occasions, we have had to deliver sessions, online in open spaces and in community halls. Due to the fact that the boxers have not been able to compete we unfortunately haven’t got any success stories. We are hopeful that when the pandemic is over we can resume our activities. **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** ## **Brief statement of the** **charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** Our main source of funding is still from the shows that we promote.
