Story
During these difficult times, we are all experiencing challenges that will affect many people’s health, social lives and livelihoods for a long time to come.
As one of the 950+ amateur boxing clubs in England who are run entirely by voluntary coaches, we give up an average of 4.5 nights every single week to run Barum Boxing Club. We do this for the benefit of our local communities, and our gym is a sanctuary for many people in England.
Our volunteers at Barum Boxing Club manage to train our members by covering essential overheads primarily through a combination of subscription fees, and fundraising by hosting boxing shows for the public.
At this stage, there is a great level of uncertainty around the impact that coronavirus will have on Barum Boxing Club, as we will still need to cover our overheads throughout the coming weeks and months, but with little to no income to do so.
That is why we are backing the “KO COVID-19” campaign, appealing to members of our local community to donate whatever they can to your local boxing club, to help ensure that when we as a nation have KO’d Covid-19, there is still an amateur boxing club in Barnstaple that people can return to.
Any donation great or small is appreciated, and you can do so by following our Just Giving page below:
https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/barumboxingclub
Or if you are willing to give #onemoreround to #KOCOVID19 by launching your own fundraiser for Barum Boxing Club your efforts will not go unnoticed if you tag us using @barumboxingclub and @englandboxingofficial (Instagram) @EnglandBoxing (Facebook) @england_boxing (Twitter) in your social media posts, to allow us to spread your hard work.
Whatever you do, however big or small, please help your local club to #KOCOVID19, and thank you from all of us at Barum Boxing Club.

Barum Boxing Club was started in 2016. We offer and encourage our boxers the chance to compete at club level right the way through to olympic level. If you are keen enough and train well this club will leave no stone unturned for our boxers to fully reach their potential.
