Halifax Star Boxing Club

Our mission is to promote boxing, health and the wellbeing of the people living in the most deprived and disadvantaged communities within North Halifax, without distinction of race, gender, political and or religious belief. Our purpose is to make a significant impact on the local communities' health and lifestyle and to provide outlets for young people to develop and participate in the local community.​The club believes money should not be the deciding factor in its participation and its 'activities should be accessible and affordable to all'. Our aims are to promote fitness, discipline, friendship, fair play and respect for all the community and particularly young people. To enable young people to develop and participate in the local community and to improve the self-confidence of young people and reduce fear of crime. To increase quality of life by providing a constructive alternative to anti social behaviour such as drugs and alcohol abuse and to provide positive role models and social inclusion from interaction with our coaching staff and other young people."The fight is won or lost away from witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights!" -Muhammad Ali
