Tracey has welcomed the news that St Mary’s Amateur Boxing Club in Chatham has benefitted from £50,000 of funding from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities Fund to help provide a new purpose built boxing gym.

As part of the Places People Play Olympic and Paralympic legacy programme, a total of £16.6 million of National Lottery Funding has been awarded to 310 projects, taking the number of local communities supported by Inspired Facilities to more than 1,000.

Tracey said:

“This is really good news for the club, its members and for the local community. The club has been part of the local community for over 50 years and as a boxing fan, I hope this investment and the new facilities as part of the Olympic legacy programme will help the club continue to help launch the careers of our next generation of boxing talent.”
