Trustees' Report
The Trustees of Holmes Chapel Boxing Foundation, registered on 4 May 2020 as a CIO, present their annual report and accounting statements for the period ending 30 June 2022. The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
Registered Office:
Unit 9A - 10 Station Yard Trading Estate Holmes Chapel Cheshire CW4 8AA
Objectives:
Holmes Chapel Boxing Club is part of Holmes Chapel Boxing Foundation. The Foundation was established as a Registered Charity to fulfil our wider community objectives whilst enabling the club to focus on youth development and competitive boxing.
The objectives of the charity are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation and the advancement of the amateur sport of boxing within the community of Holmes Chapel and Cheshire East for the public benefit by the provision of facilities for participation in the sport of boxing.
All Club activity is run and delivered by volunteers. Wider community services are delivered by the Foundation, as part of an approved budget and governed by volunteer trustees. We aspire to build on the daytime community services and offer employment opportunities locally.
The club delivers boxing training for:
-
Under 18s, whether for fitness or competition
-
Competitive boxing Adults (18-39). This is for those that want to wear the club vest and compete in club shows and championships
-
All participants are 'Competition Boxer' members
As part of the wider foundation, recreational boxing training is for:
-
Age 16+ who want to train as boxers but may not want to compete
-
Adults who want to join specific sessions to use boxing techniques and equipment for fitness
-
All training is boxing based and delivered by qualified boxing coaches. We are not a commercial gym - general fitness classes and PT sessions are available from a number of nearby gyms
In addition to the published schedule of classes, we also provide:
-
Classes and tailored services in partnerships with local schools
-
Work with local healthcare providers to promote positive mental health and social prescribing
-
Support our PCSO and other non profit community organisations
-
Option for club sponsors to use the gym meeting room for offsite meetings and team building sessions
-
Access to the gym for qualified people to hire for an approved purpose that is in line with the overall aims of the Foundation

Trustees' Report (continued)
Review of the year:
It has been a long season. We started last year, with an invite for 3 boxers to compete on the 8th August Carlisle Villa skills show. The first show since lockdown. Since then we have competed 62 times with a 65% win rate in competitive bouts. Twenty different boxers have worn the club vest over the course of the season in shows across the UK and at our home club shows from October and April.
In addition, we have held regional medical clinics at the gym and hosted the North West Regional Squad with top boxers from across the region travelling to train in Holmes Chapel. Two boxers have represented the club on the regional squad with a further two joining towards the end of the season.
This also resulted in our first champion who competed as part of a North West team in the Sala Sparbanks Boxcup in Sweden, winning the Gold medal.
Since opening the club in January 2019 we have made huge strides with our female boxers. In September 2019 we opened a girls only session focusing on boxing fundamentals and self confidence; this has helped drive a more diverse Amateur class.
On our October 2021 show, we entered the first female to represent the club in a skills bout with an allfemale coach corner team.
This season we also saw our first ever female club captain represent the club as part of the North West Region Squad and win her first bout by 3rd round stoppage. We also took our Regional Female Squad to compete in Sweden earlier this year and want to build on this with our own boxers. There are more than a dozen talented female boxers across all sessions who we have recognised as potential competitors should they wish to do so.
Under 18 boxing training and competitive boxing will always be at the heart of the club but we are aware of the wider opportunities to make the best use of our facilities and share our passion for boxing with others. Through the foundation we run recreational boxing classes; Fighting Fit, Ladies that Punch, Over 55s Boxing and Saturday Open Gym. Whilst all led by qualified boxing coaches, these are run by the foundation rather than volunteers from the Club. We also run daytime programmes for specific community groups such as our partnerships with local schools, businesses and other charitable organisations. Examples include some recent funding from Anwyl Homes to deliver daytime sessions in partnership with a High School, our work with Mentell to organise sessions specifically to promote positive male mental health and partnership with BoxingTots who use the gym to deliver boxing based sessions for 3-7 year olds. This has helped to further develop the club in the community. We have started on our journey as a local employer; albeit a few hours a week for a contractor and a small contribution for our boxers who help coach. Hopefully over the next twelve months we build on this, make even more use of our home in Station Yard and provide employment opportunities and even apprenticeships for our boxers who want to make a career in fitness and/or leisure management.
Reserves Policy:
The foundation does not have a reserves policy. Any reserves are for the enhancement of the club and it's members and reserves spend is decided by the trustees after discussion with the club regarding their priorities for the year.
