Impact: The initial pilot was supported by funding from Sport England, and based on its success and growing demand, Love Rowing are working with Peterborough City RC and Camsight to maintain the sessions, and transition participants into integrated members of the club, with funding through grants, trust and foundations.

Impact: Radley College Boat Club participated in the Big Row and raised £746 towards this programme. Love Rowing also received a donation who has added to these funds to help grow the state school programme. Initial funds were used to kickstart the learn to row courses.

Impact: Gorse Academy successfully ran their taster courses for 323 children. They were also able to provide each student with an ice cream which made all the difference to the children. This was the first time many of these students rowed on water and it was a huge success.

Impact: After teaming up with the T Twenty Movement, iBelong have successfully enticed a number of people from surrounding ethnic minority communities to their learn to row courses, and have even retained some of them as members. It’s clear that their brand is shifting towards equality and diversity, and we love to see it!

Impact: The participants from the Silverlinings Charity have told Love Rowing it really opened doors for them when many were shut. They absolutely loved the sessions. They had never been offered rowing as a sport for them to join and didn’t ever think it was something they could do.

Impact: Love Rowing’s grant helped EAYR to fund coaching for three schools, where the teachers themselves were taught how to coach rowing!
