Prepare for The Big 2024

 

 

Changing Lives Together Fund now open

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

This new partnership fund is designed to harness the power of rowing to change lives, supporting projects that open up participation, remove barriers and help more people access the physical, mental and social benefits of the sport.

Who can apply

We welcome applications from:

  • Rowing clubs

  • Schools and colleges

  • Community organisations

  • Partnerships working to make rowing more inclusive

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.

Support for applicants

We know applying for funding can feel daunting, so guidance, examples and drop-in sessions are available to help you shape your proposal.
