Crewe Youth Club has organised this event in its drive to raise funds for a new boxing gym facility on Mirion Street.

Working with South Cheshire Amateur Boxing Club, Cheshire East Council and Crewe Town Board, Crewe Youth Club has so far raised £800,000 for the new facility.

The Youth Club is targeting another £200,000 in funding for the project - creating a total figure of £1 million.

Crewe Youth Club Trustee, Mr Rob Kelsall, is running the charity event.

Today (August 12), Mr Kelsall told Nub News: "We are delighted to have already raised over £800,000 to build a great new gym on the land at Mirion Street. 

"Please join us on Saturday evening for some fun, to learn more about our project and how you can get involved."

Crewe's Mirion Street Youth Club was sadly lost to an arson attack in 2014.

As part of the overall regeneration of the town, trustees of Crewe Youth Club intend to develop all of the 1.1-acre site - all to benefit the youth of Crewe.

Phase one of this regeneration project will see the contraction of a new boxing gym.

This will allow South Cheshire Amateur Boxing Club to relocate from an old warehouse on Middlewich Street to brand-new purpose-built facilities nearby.
