Description

Join Our Board of Trustees at Billingham boxing academy.
Are you passionate about supporting community projects and making a real difference?
We’re a small but dynamic boxing club serving Billingham and the wider area, with over forty competitive boxers and a proud record of going far beyond sport.
Our club actively delivers projects tackling knife crime and anti-social behaviour, and we provide inclusive classes supporting people with Parkinson’s. We are a small team creating a big impact, and the need for strong governance is vital if we are to free up more time for our hands-on work in the community.

We are seeking new trustees to join our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) board. We welcome people with experience in the voluntary sector, as well as those with backgrounds in governance or finance. If you have strategic insight and a passion for community change, your support can help us grow and strengthen our work.
Experience as a trustee is not essential. We value your skills, commitment, and desire to help us make a difference.
