ABOUT OUR CHARITY
You Can Help Children get access to a previously elite sport by Donating – here are some of our stories
Land based training for local schools
Enabling larger groups to get into the sport without the extra resource needed for water access, whatever the weather and daylight
Christmas Regatta
Getting onto ther water for some festive racing
Open to all
We are an inclusive community rowing club open to all. Rowing is a traditionally hard to access and elitist sport. We’re changing that one rower at a time
WHY ROWING
Many parents like the fact that rowing strengthens a sense of duty and obligation to the team that is not as fully developed in other activities. An eight-oared crew can only go out if all eight rowers and the coxswain show up on time. Rowing reinforces the value of teamwork over an extended period for a common objective. Rowing teaches the value of deferred gratification, and mental toughness. It teaches young people to go beyond self-imposed limits.
Getting out on the water eases stress, promotes mental strength and mental health. Rowing with other people promotes teamwork. You can do it indoors, and you can do it outdoors. But most importantly the biggest reason that people row is because it’s FUN!!!
