LYR is creating terrific opportunities for a significant section of the community who previously had little or no involvement with sport.
We are passionate about making fitness and rowing accessible to young people from all walks of life right across London – helping them get active, develop confidence and skills and have fun in the process!
We design inspiring programmes as a means to improving fitness, making new friends, and entering competitions either as an individual or on a team. We offer the highest standards of coaching and encouragement for all, and we have performance coaches to develop the most talented to the highest levels.
We are currently working with 49 schools in the London area, and 21 clubs. Last year over 3,000 participants took part in our programmes or activities, including over 70 young people with disabilities. With the Row East London olympic legacy initiative underway, we expect to increase the number of young people regularly participating in our programmes to over 5,000 per year.
