Will cash aid boxers’ fight for survival?
IT could provide the money to help keep the boxing club alive and kids off the street.
The Golden Ring Boxing Club in Southampton is set to apply for a grant from the Daily Echo and Sport Relief Community Cash fund.
If successful, the money could help the Millbrook-based club pay for new punch bags and gloves for youngsters who can’t afford them.
The Daily Echo has teamed up with Sport Relief to give away £62,000 in grants of between £500 and £1,000 to organisations working in the city.
To qualify, groups simply have to be working in a disadvantaged area and have an income of less than £50,000 a year.
To apply for a grant from the Daily Echo and Sport Relief Community Cash fund go to dailyecho.co.uk/ sport_relief.
