Row Britannia is an inclusive (adaptive sport) mental health, fitness and wellbeing challenge by The British Inspiration Trust (BRIT), for teams throughout the UK to raise vital funds and positive awareness. You can register and complete your 2,020 mile (3,251km) Row Britannia challenge anytime between NOW and 13th March 2020.*
Through an extraordinary collaboration of partner organisations, Row Britannia will provide a UK-wide platform, campaign and event that will bring together universities, colleges, education and sports governing bodies, British Sporting Icons and communities.
The Row Britannia Challenge for Sport Relief has the potential to involve every university and college student in the UK. If every university and college enters a team and raises £3000, they could raise a total of £1.5million for Sport Relief.
In addition to raising vital funds, the positive awareness of mental health, fitness and wellbeing that they would raise within their communities could be extraordinary.
*Row Britannia Extension
We have been asked by universities and colleges throughout the UK to extend Row Britannia from the 13th March 2020 to the 6th June 2020 - the date that Row Britannia Sport Relief JustGiving pages close. This will give time for teams starting their row now to complete their 2,020 miles and for everyone to continue to raise funds for Sport Relief.
OUR AIMS
1
Support student mental health, fitness & wellbeing and fundraise for Sport Relief
At its core, Row Britannia is a team 2,020mile (3,251km) rowing challenge, to be completed between 12th November 2019 and 13th March 2020 (Now extended to 6th June 2020), to raise £3,000 for Sport Relief. If every university & college participates they would raise £1.5m.
2
Deliver inspiration & raise awareness through visits from British Sporting Icons & Mental Health Ambassadors
To deliver inspiration and raise awareness, we are inviting British Sporting Icons and Mental Health Ambassadors to visit university and college teams throughout their 4-month Row Britannia challenge.
3
Secure pledges from corporations, businesses and philanthropists and raise vital funds for our collaboration of mental health charity partners
Row Britannia aims to raise £1.5m to further enable the extraordinary work of our mental health charities who deliver vital support to students & young people.
Concurrently, the Row Britannia Team have challenged every University Committee Chair, Vice-Chancellor and College Principal to work together and invite companies to pledge support and match their student fundraising targets in order to raise funds for our mental health charity partners.
In addition to raising vital funds, the positive awareness of mental health, fitness and wellbeing that they would raise within their communities could be extraordinary.
Together we can make a huge impact on the mental health and fitness of millions of lives and will save lives - together.
