York Masters Boxing Club
Rotary York Ainsty is getting its gloves on to assist a community boxing club in the city.
The York Masters Boxing Club, based in Redeness Street premises, were faced with a funding shortfall following the withdrawal of their main sponsor. The club provides opportunities for fitness training, learning boxing techniques and develops discipline, focus and social kills amongst its members.
Rotary York Ainsty was approached following on from its support of other Salvation Army initiatives. The Salvation Army has given support to the boxing club during recent months as a number of their current clients also utilise the York Masters facilities. Following the approach, RYA agreed to grant aid the club to the tune of £300 for the current year as part of its on-going community support during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
