LYR expands school rowing programme to Bristol

A newly launched rowing programme within state schools across Bristol will create opportunities for children who may not have previously had the chance to take part in the sport.

Active Row Bristol will look to engage with young people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds or those with disabilities, helping them build fitness and life skills through the sport of rowing, both indoor and on water.

Active Row is the primary participation programme of London Youth Rowing (LYR), which is looking to run the campaign in areas across the country.

The launch of Active Row in Bristol has been made possible due to a three-year funding partnership with Henley Royal Regatta Charitable Trust and British Rowing.

Originating in London, Active Row combines both indoor and on-water rowing, with a firm focus on improving inclusivity.
