Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | In order to manage the increase in members this year two volunteers took the Level 1 coaching badge. This development will also enable us to provide more sessions in the 22/23 season. Our annual show this year consisted of 34 bouts with clubs from across the country participating in the pre-quarter finals of the English Boxing Development Championships. Our members performed well and although they didn’t qualify for the next round, this was invaluable experience at this stage of their development. The Club was approached by the local college and parents and asked to admit a youngster who was proving difficult to manage at home and at college. The club has a well-earned reputation locally for challenging the negative behaviour of youngsters, and this year the senior coaches have witnessed a significant change in the attitude and concentration exhibited by this young person. The Club is also involved with young adults with drink and drug related issues who presented themselves at the club with the aim of changing behaviour through the self- discipline which is a key ingredient of being a boxer. |

Para 1.25 | At the moment we have sufficient trustees to operate in our current situation. We have plans to build a new boxing gym and community hall as part of a Sports Hub in Exmouth. Once this receives planning permission this Spring it is likely we will need to appoint more trustees. When that time arrives, the trustees will be cognisant of best practice when appointing new trustees. The trustees will convene a sub-committee to interview potential trustees; the final decision will be taken by the full committee following due diligence including background checks. |
