About Monkstown Boxing Club
Open 6 days a week including school holidays, Monkstown Boxing Club’s (MBC) purpose is to help young people grow to be happy, healthy and successful adults.
Our youth space ‘The Box’ provides young people with a range of activities, meeting young people where they are at, giving them the opportunity to try new things, meet new friends and gain support from friendly, warm and positive staff and volunteers.
MBC's 5 Pillar Approach: [Education/Wellbeing/Personal Development & Leadership/Employability & Lifeskills/Boxing] aims to bridge the gap of inequalities and improve outcomes for children and young people.
Since 2012, the club has been delivering a pioneering education and youth support programme for young people disengaged from mainstream education. The #InYourCorner Programme supports over 250 children and young people on a weekly basis, accessing services and support.
Winner of National Lottery Best Education Project in 2015.
Received prestigious Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2019.
