Tribune Trust Awards £3000 to Support Free Boxing Sessions in Hull

BOXCLUB CIC has received a £1,800 grant from the Tribune Trust to fund free boxing sessions for young people from disadvantaged communities and ethnic minority backgrounds in Hull.

The funding will cover equipment, facility hire, and coaching, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent participation. The club provides a safe and structured environment, helping to reduce anti-social behaviour, build confidence, and develop discipline and teamwork among participants.

Natalie Yates, Director of BOXCLUB, highlighted that the sessions also create pathways for young people to progress into volunteering, coaching, or even professional boxing, giving them opportunities to build positive futures while contributing to their communities.

Approximately 100 young people are expected to benefit directly from the programme, with additional wider impact on social inclusion and community cohesion across Hull.
