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.

The Big Row Live is an opportunity to connect our Big Row participants globally, as we row the distance from Paris to LA.  The Big Row aims to raise funds for Love Rowing projects that transform lives through the sport of rowing.

On water or land, whether 5kms or 150kms, and wherever people are taking part connect they can connect through The Big Row Live. 

Free Zoom Ergos sessions are available to our Big Rowers including sessions with our Trustees and Ambassadors Cath Bishop OLY, Ellen Buttrick PLY and Grace Prendergast OLY, as well as unique opportunities to be inspired by the We are Invictus Team Coaches and the Row the Rhythm project. 

There are also opportunities to take part at the Worcester Regatta and Cambridge Autumn Regatta. 

We aim to complete the 15,241kms with a celebration session hosted by the San Diego Rowing Club on Sunday evening.

Anyone wanting to donate can do so through The Big Row 2024 Just Giving Campaign page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/thebigrow2024
