Achievements and perforrnance
Development
Goole Amateur Boxing Club opened 1st JU￿ 2021 in response to research carried out on behaK of the
local community into lack of youth provision in Goole. The projecl was led by Mr Andrew Horn¢aslle
MBE, then High Sheriff of the Easl Riding of Yorkshire and Mrs Jacky Crawford MBE. then Chigf
Executive of the Moodands Community Charity based in Old Goole Imoorlandsl. The project was
supported by then Police and Crime Commissioner Mr Keith Hunter, the Humberside Police (Goole
Slalionl, Sl Paul's Boxing Academy CIO in nearby Hull, the Rotary Club of Howden, The Smile
Foundation, the Windfarm Fund and several other local eharitles businesses and individuaL8.
It was envisaged that the presence of a boxing club would help reduce levels of anti-social behaviour
in the town and provide young people with the opportunity lo develop themselves for life ahead.
Boxing has proven lo be a sport that promotes personal health and wellbeing, builds character and
confidence in young people. inslils a respect for others and leaches individuals the benefits that are
brought about by hard work and perseverance. We do, however, fully acknowledge that some people
have a different view of boxing to us. We respect those views bul woukl eneourage those people to
have an open mind to the huge proven benefits that boxing can bring.
Premises We￿ identified and a lease was entered with the owners of the former Barclays Bank on the
pedestrian precinct on Boothferry Road in the centre of the town. Head Coach at Sl Paul's, Mr Mike
Biomby MBE introduced hllrs Renetta Edwards (England Boxing Level Two) who we were very
fortunate and delighted lo appoint as Head Coach al Goole. A small team of volunteers and coaching
staff were then brought logelhor.
Works were undertaken lo transform the old banking premises into a small but well-appoinled boxing
gym facing out onto the pedestrianised town centre. The Moorlands Community Charity provided the
umbrella within which demand could be proven. Then armed with that proof, in February 2023. with
direction from Iruslees the boxing club became an independent charity, the Goole Amateur Boxing
Club Charitable Incorporated Organisalion {GABC CIOI
Borrowing from Sl Paul's Boxing Academy CIO, the aims of the Iru5tees of GABC CIO are lo "Create
some champions in the ring, but many more champions in life The Club is a Community Boxing Club,
not a commerci31 gym. Those allending pay 8 subscription bul those who cannot pay do not pay.
Nobody is denied entry due lo their inability lo pay although most allending do pay their subs.
eurrenlly £3.00 per session.
An inclusive community club, whele everyone is welcome, Head Coach Renetta says'%ve are not men
and women, boys and girls. we are all boxers who love the sport of boxing.
Weekday nlghls are a￿vaYS busy wf(h great commitment from the boxers and volunteer coaching team
led.

Goole Amateur Boxing Club
Trustees, Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
131 The local police continue to report low levels of youth anti-social behaviour since the boxing club
opened and recognise that the boxing club should lake some credited for this.
{41 In January 2023 working with the local cornmunily the club presented its first show night in the
former Market Hall lo a sellout crowd with people literally queueing down the streets. Goole town's
population really turned out. and the evening was a huge success.
15) As well as young people keen to become fil and learn the boxing skills, the Iruslees have reached
out lo help specialist groups lo deliver boxing sessions and host Goole Youth Adions with their 'ln
your corner" programme which supports excluded young people. Also, the club runs weekly sessions
for ils 'Parkinson's Punchers" which is a group of people with Parkinson's disease who have found
boxing drills very beneficial in managing the symptoms and slowing the progress of the disease.
161 Trustees are also in earfy discussions with the Rotary Club run "Memory Cafe" in Howden with
view lo starting a similar operation in Goole. We are constsntly seeking opportunities to gel full use out
of the gym and widen the scope of operation.
{71 In 2024 GABC CIO was voted charity of the year al the Goole and HOWdenshi￿ Business Awards
whilst Iruslee Richard Longthorp OBE received the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award for his services
lo farming and the commLJnily.
181 In 2025 head ￿a¢h Renetta Edwards was shortlisted for a BBC award for her work in boxing and
achievements in the opEning of GABC CIO.

Financial review
Financial Review
The results are shown in the accounts pages that follow. The nel assets al 31 M8rch 2025 were
£59.838.00
Though not in the balance sheet GABC has an unequivocal commitment from the Rotsry Club of
Howden for a grant of £10,000. This is likely lo be drawn down in the next 12 months and will further
bolster the club's financial position and resilience.
The Iruslees have an objective lo build reserves to a ievel of eighteen caFendar months ahead at any
given lime. The trustees ar$ pleased with the progress being made toward reaching this objective.
Over the forthcoming months the trustees intend lo build a further development fund lo match the
public grants which are being largeled lo fund the extension of the premises.
The future
Since opening the doors demand has been oveJwhelming, helping to shape the lives of hundred5 of
young people from Goole and the surrounding villages. Importantly we believe approximately 40% of
our members come from the deprived areas of Goole South with the remaining 60D/o Other areas.
Membership is around 190 plus bul there is always a list of others wanting lo attend. The current
building has a limiting capacity. Over the last two years the trustees have been looking al options
regarding the gym premises.
The neighbouring propety a former EE phone shop has recent￿ c105ed. and the Trustees have
reached agreement lo lake a lease on the propety. This will allow the club's existing gym lo be
expanded converting both properties into one. It will also provide extra space for non-boxing aclwilies
such as the Memory Café mentioned above.
The Trustees have appointed a professional project manager lo oversee the project. Plans have been
drawn. and these include installing a new shop frDnl and upgrading the area lo the rear that forms the
car park. Internally the plans include the creation of a larger gym floor, formation of male and female
changing facilities, a fi(ness studio and administration and messing facility for volunteers and paronls.
A planning application has been submitted lo ERYC. The objective is to complete the project by by the
end of October 2026.
Renella and the coaching team are planning another show night in early 2026.
Members of the board of Iruslees are seeking to widen the number of financial supporters the club has
in the are8, to reach out further and open up the facility and the offer of the club lo the community.
The Iruslees intend lo continue lo promote GABC CIO so there Is a greater awareness of the club and
ils work.
In summing up, the Iruslees would like lo thank all the coaching team, the volunteers and all the
friends and supporters of th¢ club for all they do in helping the members achieve both inside and
outside the ring.
Well done all of you.

Tangible assets (¢ontinu¢d)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless il reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been
re¢ognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset a5 a re5uII of revaluation, is ￿cOgnised in other recognised gains and losses,
except lo which il offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the slalemenl of financial aclivilies.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as lo write off the cost or valuation of an asset. less f(s residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows..
20% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impaimienl is carried out at each reporting dale, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingw. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal al each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment lesling. when il is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimale is made of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generaling unil lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflDWS Ihal largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition dale, aliocated lo each of the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other asse15 or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those units.
