Monkstown Boxing Club

Monkstown Boxing Club was delighted to attend the launch of Cheryl Brownlee MLA SEN Support Booklet.

This important resource will help signpost children, young people and families to the support and services available to them across the community.

It was also a great opportunity to showcase the fantastic work being done by MBC for young people with additional needs. Sport and physical activity can play a vital role in supporting children and young people, helping to build confidence, improve wellbeing, develop social skills and create a sense of belonging.

A huge well done to Cheryl on this initiative and to everyone involved in making a positive difference for local families.

Summer Scheme 2026 Recap ☀️🥊

Over 3 brilliant weeks we delivered 90 hours of youth engagement, supporting 108 young people across juniors and seniors.

With 15 days of delivery, 30 trips & activities completed, and 11 volunteers giving their time, this year’s scheme was our best yet.

A young person summed it up perfectly:
“MBC Summer Scheme was the best part of my summer.” 💛

This week our coaches took part in a coaching workshop alongside Holy Trinity’s coaching team 🥊🤝

A brilliant chance to share ideas, build skills and strengthen links between both clubs 🙌🏼
