Who are we?
We are Market Drayton Boxing Club
we support our community by offering opportunities to be involved in a sport that enhances, fitness, confidence, positive mental well-being, belonging, co-ordination and chance to compete at all levels.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are crowdfunding because we are a growing team that are passionate about engaging our community.
we want to offer opportunities to people from all backgrounds to come and join us on our quest to tackle poor mental health and anti social behaviour. To enhance people's fitness and involvement in sporting activity. To bring people together working in what can be a challenging environment.
To build confidence and resilience to people who may need support.
We currently have extremely limited space to train the team that is growing year on year.
we need a second floor to enable us to have the correct equipment necessary to coach the sport.
we don't have enough space to hang boxing bags and the 16ft competition boxing ring along with floor space for footwork drills.
another floor ( mezzanine) would allow us the footage to have better space and support our ambition to grow the team, facilities and future successful competitive sportspeople.
We have worked hard to raise funded previously to enhance our club kit, reaching out to local sponsors and pledging fundraising activities and we have been successful.
with new gloves , bags and a competition sized boxing ring.
we now are asking for a much bigger ambition and goal for the club and team.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The funds we raise will provide a mezzanine floor to allow us the necessary space to offer better training space.
Community impact
As a club we are always excited to be involved with the community,
We have coaches that are involved with mentoring and supporting local schools with challenging behaviour along with enhancing confidence with younger people who need guidance .
club coaches also have been involved with giving free training to novice boxers who were involved in an event raising over £20,000 for 2 charities. Children's hospice Hope House and mental health charity Samaritains.
