ABINGDON TOWN ABC GYM FUND DISTRIBUTION TRUST 

The Trust has ensured the safekeeping of funds raised by Abingdon Town Amateur Boxing Club for shared community sports facilities. The Trust began distributing funds for sport in Abingdon in 2021/22. In September 2022 the boxing club was relaunched and the trust helped the relaunch. Plans are now progressing for a new sports hall and the trust will consider using funds for that purpose.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
