ROYAL MARINE COMMUNITY
FLAGSHIP EVENT BLACK TIE BOXING DINNER
The Royal Marines Community Flagship Event is a formal black tie evening hosted at the iconic Titanic Hotel Liverpool. It brings together serving Royal Marines, veterans, civic leaders, major employers, and representatives from Merseyside’s boxing community for an evening that combines ceremony, sport, and meaningful community engagement.
The dinner forms the centrepiece of a wider three to four day regional programme delivered across Merseyside. Throughout the programme, schools, academies, youth organisations, and boxing clubs take part in structured engagement sessions led by Royal Marines personnel, veterans, and community partners. These sessions are designed to inspire, inform, and create clear pathways toward future opportunities.

• Strengthen civic pride and community cohesion across Merseyside
This programme provides sponsors with an opportunity
to align with a high-integrity, high-impact initiative backed
by the Royal Marines and Royal Navy, delivering both
community value and long-term social benefit.
