CHELMSFORD Amateur Boxing Club has handed over a cheque for £1,000 to J’s Hospice.

The sum was raised at the club’s last charity sinner boxing show at Chelmsford City FC earlier this year.

Club treasurer Johnny Mouser presented the cheque to hospice ambassador Lynn Horne.

“We are a community club that wants to help local charitable organisations when it is possible,” said Mr Mouser.

The boxers have returned to training following their summer break. Anyone interested in joining can visit the club at Harway House, in Rectory Lane on Sundays at 10am.
