How can I raise money for my club?

 

If you live in Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Liverpool, Bolton, Durham or Newham, your local boxing development officer will be able to offer advice on fundraising. For BDO contact details contact the Sheffield office.


The ABAE hopes to continue recruitment of boxing development officers so that for the other regions can benefit. Their details will be added to this list as they are appointed. However, if you don't live in any of the above areas, the above link also contains a list of useful fundraising websites which you might find useful.
