An Ellesmere Port man is taking part in Sunday’s Liverpool Half Marathon to raise funds to help keep Wirral CP Boxing Club open.

Sam Ingham, 25 from Pooltown Road is appealing to the Ellesmere Port community to get behind him and donate whatever they can to support the club, formally known as Vauxhalls.

Sam said: “As of the end of the year we have to come up with £80,000 to keep the gym going. The community can’t let this gym go, for the youths sake and for the future generation of boxing of Ellesmere Port.

“Any little donation helps even if its £1. Please help us save our gym.”

Anyone who would like to donate should visit the Wirral CP Boxing Club on Station Road for more details.
