During the financial year ending 31 December 2025, the academy received approximately 30 applications from individuals wishing to participate, with attendance varying throughout the year. The majority of participants were children, demonstrating a demand for accessible and affordable sporting opportunities for young people within the community. The academy generated £1,493.05 in membership income, which contributed towards its running costs. Expenditure included £1,560.00 for premises hire, £210.00 for promotional hall hire and £632.11 for insurance. These costs supported the provision of a suitable and insured environment for community boxing activities. The academy also received a grant of £2,819.44 from St Thomas's Dole Charity to support the development of its facilities and equipment. Of this funding, £2,146.87 was allocated towards the purchase of a boxing ring and £618.48 towards additional flooring. The boxing ring had been purchased but was awaiting delivery at the financial year end. The remaining £54.09 of grant funding had not been spent by 31 December 2025 and remains allocated for eligible expenditure. In accordance with the grant conditions, this amount must be used for approved purposes or returned to the grant provider by 30 November 2026. Through its activities, LION R.A.W BOXING ACADEMY C.I.C. has provided opportunities for local residents, particularly children and young people, to participate in organised physical activity. The academy seeks to reduce barriers to participation, encourage positive behaviour, develop confidence and social skills, and support healthier lifestyles.

LION R.A.W BOXING ACADEMY C.I.C.'s key stakeholders include boxing participants, parents and carers, local residents and the organisations responsible for providing the academy's premises. On 1 October 2025, a stakeholder consultation meeting was held involving the academy's directors, boxing participants, their families and representatives of the organisations responsible for providing the premises. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the potential allocation of grant funding, should the application be successful, and consider how the funding could best support the needs of the academy and the wider community. Discussions focused on identifying priority equipment needs, including the purchase of a boxing ring and additional protective flooring. These improvements were intended to provide a safer and more suitable training environment, enhance the quality of boxing sessions and support increased participation among children, young people and adults. Following the successful grant application, £2,146.87 was allocated towards a boxing ring and £618.48 towards additional flooring, reflecting the priorities discussed during the consultation meeting. During the financial year, the academy received approximately 30 applications from individuals interested in participating in boxing activities, with the majority being children and young people. This demonstrated local interest in accessible and affordable sporting opportunities. The consultation provided an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to discussions about the academy's development and the proposed use of funding. The academy remains committed to maintaining positive relationships with participants, families and premises providers, ensuring that future activities and investments continue to reflect community needs. Through continued stakeholder engagement, LION R.A.W BOXING ACADEMY C.I.C. aims to improve accessibility, encourage participation and provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment that promotes physical health, mental wellbeing and personal development.
