It's a knockout award for Tamworth Boxing Club |
A boxing club in Tamworth has struck lucky with the announcement today of a £224,648 funding award from the Big Lottery Fund.
Tamworth Amateur Boxing Club will use the grant from the BIG’s Reaching Communities programme to develop its CHOICES (Creating Health Options, Inclusive Core and Extended Services) project.
The club will continue its existing service providing boxing training sessions and will also offer a range of new activities designed to improve health, fitness, community cohesion and active lifestyles. Through the employment of a business development manager and coach, the organisation aims to further meet community need and develop new activities.
Alan Keast, Coach, said: “Tamworth Amateur Boxing Club is knocked out by the news that the Big Lottery Fund application has been successful. The local community will benefit enormously from the club’s ability to be able to extend its services, giving everyone an opportunity to become more active and get involved. The club celebrates its
The club will also offer classes to adults aged 50 and over to improve mobility and fitness, and run special toddler fitness sessions. It will work closely with local football clubs who benefit from the delivery of fitness classes to improve core stability and endurance. The club will also work with new parents – such as offering fitness walks with prams – and Scouts, Brownies and youth clubs.
Aquaboxercise classes will be held for people with special needs. Training and volunteering opportunities within the community will also be established as part of the project. People will also be able to request individual training packages.
John Taylor, Big Lottery Fund Head of Region for the West Midlands, said: ”This is great news for the people of Tamworth, punching home the message that Lottery funding makes a big difference to communities. In particular, this grant will help the club address the health and fitness needs of people of all ages and abilities.”
