The detail on each part of this strategy is work in progress, presented to indicate our direction of travel and not as a finished product.
We want your input and feedback to help improve it, both for the next iteration as detailed on our roadmap, and on-going. It will change, and we will listen to the membership and what they want and need.
Send us your feedback, and be part of this step change in British Rowing.
We want to make British Rowing a leader in sustainable sport by 2030. We will be making operational changes while providing our affiliates with the necessary knowledge and guidance to reduce their impacts and maximise their positive influence on the environment, thus protecting our waterways and the health and safety of our athletes, ensuring the sustainability of our sport.
We have a six-point plan:
Rising temperatures, unseasonal weather, and increased storm frequency and severity, among many other climate change concepts, all have the potential to severely impact our ability to row. Knowing this, we are working towards leading the rowing community into doing our part to protect the natural world, and in turn, ourselves.
Many sporting organisations are shifting focus towards sustainable alternatives. When people ask us, “what are you doing in this space?”, we want to be able to claim credibly say that we are leading in it.
If you have any thoughts on any part of what we are trying to do, think we are missing a trick, or see an area where you can help us, please get in touch and let us know.
This is your sport: we're here as its Trustees to facilitate it on your behalf, and to help it to thrive and grow.
