## **GYM OVERVIEW**
The fox amateur boxing club was founded and set up in 1978 by Jimmy Lewis and since then has had several different locations in Greater Manchester now being based in Oldham. The club is run by Dominic and Charlie coaches/trustees, the club obtained it’s charity status in 2020. The gym is based in a socially deprived area with high rates of unemployment and criminal activities so is important that we can provide a wide range of funded classes to suit all needs.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The objectives of the charity are primarily focused for the benefit of the inhabitants of Oldham, and the surrounding areas of North Manchester.
The objectives of the charity are:
a) the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities and opportunities for amateur boxing and other activities capable of improving physical health.
b) the provision of facilities for amateur boxing in particular but not exclusively using boxing and its training and techniques as a means of improving health and fitness and encouraging people to make healthy life choices
c) to act as a resource for people living in the area by providing advice and assistance, and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities.
The aim of this is to advance in life and help young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals. There are additional aims to advance education, relieve unemployment and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

## **Financial Review**
The charity has received its income from a variety of donations, funding from other charities and local community organisations, subscriptions and use of facilities totalling £21083.29. Income in 2022-23 was £44253)
Although no restricted funding has been received in this financial year £3248 has been carried forward from the 2022-2023 year and has been used for funded sessions and staff costs in the 20232024 year. This was used to deliver sessions to vulnerable adults in the community. Accountancy fees of £768 were deducted in the 2023-24 year but attributed to the 2022-23 year for services delivered in that year.
Trustee (Anthony Crolla) paid only for services delivering coaching sessions to schools and funded classes.
**Reserves policy**
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity and have concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to continue its current activities, unrestricted fund reserves should be not less than 6 months anticipated expenditure. On this basis the current requirement is £10,000 at 30 September 2024. Free reserves at 30 September 2023 amounted to £15,745, which the trustees consider is a satisfactory level.
