We were proud to work with Fight for Peace in 2018. Fight for Peace combines boxing and martial arts with education and personal development to realise the potential of young people in communities affect by crime, violence and social excusion. They provide the tools and support they need to become life champions and create positive futures for themselves in their academies in Rio de Janerio and London. They also have a presence in over 25 countries via partnership organisations.
We were proud to work in partnership with Cambridgeshire Police in 2016/17 with funded classes for young people who have been involved in anti-social behaviour, youth crime or behavioural problems at school. Boxing has a long proven history of making a difference to many young people’s lives and such a collaboration is exactly what a Commnunity Amateur Boxing Club is all about.
The late St Neots Mayor Cllr Derek Giles named us one the charities he supported for the 12 months he was in office.
'"New Saints Boxing Club is one of my chosen charities so I am especially grateful for the support that is forthcoming from the business's in our area. The club is attracting members from a wide area and is teaching youngsters so many life skills"
The St Neots & District Royal Naval Association chose us as one of their good causes, as voted for by their members.
This was in recognition for the work we are doing for the Young People of St Neots and the surrounding area and any money received will go towards replacing some of the equipment, mainly gloves and headguards, for those that can't afford to buy their own.
Being able to provide all the equipment they need regardless of their personal circumstances allows boxing to be accessible to everyone.
We were delighted to be part of the first ever Tesco Family Fun Day on the Regatta Common in St Neots
Tesco had kindly donated some equipment to us and invited us along with the other local community groups they supported.
Some of our Juniors took part in a demonstration of their skills with lots of the crowd joining in a typical fitness circuit.
