About Swinton Boxing Club & More Than Sport CIC
More Than Boxing. More Than Sport. More for the Community.
Swinton Boxing Club is an amateur boxing club built around a simple belief: sport can change lives.
We provide a welcoming, disciplined and supportive environment where people of all abilities can learn boxing, improve their fitness, build confidence and become part of a positive community. We offer boxing classes for youths and adults, dedicated ladies-only sessions, and personal training for those looking for more individual support.
But we are about much more than what happens inside the boxing gym.
Alongside Swinton Boxing Club, we are proud to operate as More Than Sport CIC, a community-focused organisation committed to using sport, mentoring and positive intervention to make a lasting difference.
We work with youth organisations, men’s mental health charities and local amateur sports clubs, delivering projects and activities designed to improve wellbeing, confidence, resilience and connection within the community. We also provide free classes for people aged 50+, helping older members of our community stay active, social and engaged.
OUR MISSION
Creating Opportunities. Helping People Thrive.
Our goal is to give back to the community and create opportunities for people to thrive.
We want to support young people in Manchester and beyond by providing positive role models, mentoring, structure and safe spaces where they can feel valued and supported. Through boxing and community projects, we aim to help people develop not only physically, but mentally and socially too.
Whether someone walks through our doors looking to learn how to box, get fit, build confidence, improve their mental wellbeing or simply find somewhere they belong, we want them to know they are welcome.
We are open every day, creating a consistent place for people to train, connect and access support.
Swinton Boxing Club is more than a boxing gym. More Than Sport CIC is more than a community organisation. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier and more connected community — one person at a time.
