The main activities are boxing and fitness, we do not just teach young people about boxing. 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, using sport. The club was established in 1990; we continue to 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 activity 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 Summary of the main in positive activities.

We noted that we had a cohort of young people who wanted to train however they did not want to compete, after running some pilot sessions we now run a bespoke session for this cohort. Aspire Boxing Club is not just a boxing club; in October 2024 we took a group of young people on a residential weekend in Edale and in Marsh 2026 we took a group of young people on a residential weekend to Matlock. Both residentials allowed young people to work together as a team. Our female only group did not take place when we shared a building due to capacity however since moving into our own building, this group has re started. This group is going well, and we get regular feedback from those who take part, We still offer a service to the youth justice service, Schools, and other statutory services 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.

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
We have had an increase in female boxing; this has led to us launching our “Women Aspire Together” initiative. This has been highly successful; this takes place on a Saturday morning and a Wednesday Evening. A female level 2 England Boxing Coach runs these sessions. We still have females who compete however, whilst we have increased participation from females, we have not increased participation from BME groups, the people that we do have from BME groups are usually the ones that return. Our aim is to increase BME participation. Although our numbers dropped due to us moving buildings, we have seen the female sessions grow, we currently have a waiting list for people wanting to attend, since they fee l comfortable in the environment. Although we have only been in this building for a brief period we have. • Improved peoples physical health and mental health and well being • Promoted enhancement in education and lifelong learning • Promoted community cohesion • Worked with other agencies to help combat crime. We have extended the opening times to include Saturday mornings, and we have a female only fitness session on a Wednesday for the adult community members. |
