London Youth Rowing

From rowing machines in school halls to boats, kayaks and paddleboards on the water, we’ve spent the last 20 years helping young people discover what they’re capable of 🚣‍♀️

That’s why we’re excited that our CEO, Matt, will be speaking at the Youth Sport: Tackling the Participation Gap Conference later this month, sharing some of LYR’s experiences of breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for young people through sport.

Here’s to more young people finding their place in sport 💙

Be Brave. Be Curious. Be Yourself. 💙

Marcus first came to rowing in Year 8 with no experience — just a willingness to give something new a go. Since then, he has grown into a dedicated athlete, a supportive teammate and a role model within Active Row Bristol.

From winning at NJIRC Virtual to helping younger students build confidence in sessions, Marcus’s journey shows the power of opportunity, resilience and belonging through sport.

Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do at LYR 🙌
