Love Rowing and British Rowing are pleased to announce that the Changing Lives Together Fund is now open for applications.

Who can apply

We welcome applications from:

  • Rowing clubs

  • Schools and colleges

What the fund supports

We are particularly interested in projects that:

  • Reach underrepresented communities

  • Increase inclusive and adaptive rowing opportunities

  • Help people start and continue rowing

  • Build sustainable participation programmes

Grants are expected to range from £500 to over £10,000, depending on the scale and ambition of the project.
