Fibrus Broadband Sports Fund supports local boxing club

All Saints Amateur Boxing Club successfully receives funding to launch a 10-week programme for teenagers

The 50k Fund, available to sports clubs across Northern Ireland and Cumbria, is designed to support grassroots sports in regional and rural communities, offering up to £1,000 per club to help with equipment, kits, improving facilities and subsiding training fees. 

Since the 2023 launch, around 30 organisations in Northern Ireland have received grants, including All Saints Amateur Boxing Club who can now kickstart their 10-week programme thanks to the fund! 

All Saints Amateur Boxing Club in Ballymena used the donation from Fibrus to purchase equipment in order to launch a 10-week programme for teenagers.   

Brendan Dunne at All Saints Amateur Boxing Club said, “We used the donation from Fibrus to purchase equipment to develop a 10-week physical activity programme for 30 young people aged 13-18. 

“By purchasing this equipment for the club, it ensures we can remove barriers to access for children to take part and allows us to make a positive personal, physical and social change through boxing.” 

The 2024 Fund recently closed for applications and successful beneficiaries will hear back soon!
