Julia started rowing at her Active Row indoor rowing club at school. She rowed for LYR Globe Rowing Club juniors and was offered a scholarship to row and study at the University of Tulsa, USA.
David was introduced to rowing through school PE sessions, run by LYR at a local boat club. After a month, he decided to join LYR Thames Tradesmen Rowing Club. David has been an active member, giving up his free time to volunteer at LYR learn-to-row courses and training with the intention of competing at national events in the future.

London Youth Rowing runs and supports a number of youth programmes.
Our flagship programme Active Row focuses on engaging young people who are less likely to participate in physical activity such as those from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds, girls and individuals with special educational needs or a disability. Active Row works within 60+ state secondary schools across London and has recently branched into Leeds.
Our Life Skills programme uses the skills builder framework on essential skills development through rowing and learning how the skills apply in the workplace through workshops with our corporate partners.
These are two of our many programmes that we run and support at LYR, all of which focus on delivering our vision of breaking down barriers and building diversity, inclusivity and equality.
