Story

We're taking part in Race The Thames Virtual 2022 - join us to bust the winter blues!Race The Thames is the annual fundraising event run by London Youth Rowing (LYR). The money raised will be used to help support LYR's work in London and Leeds. LYR's programmes allow young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part in rowing, giving them the benefit of participating in the sport and allowing them to fulfil their potential. The gallery below shows the impact LYR's work has for young people.  

We will also be supporting the School of Hard Knocks Charity, with 50% of the total funds raised to go to their work. Working in London, Cardiff, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the charity currently employs a core team of 18 people; has two outstanding patrons in Invictus Games gold-medallist and world record holder Andy Grant and England stalwart Andy Gomarsall MBE; and helps over 750 adults and children each year. Ultimately, though, it still adheres to the ethos and methodology of the first course in 2007 - empowering people to achieve whatever they set their minds to.
