ROW BRITANNIA &
BRITISH
ROWING
The Row Britannia Physical Team Challenge was created as an event for students and young people to fundraise, create wider engagement and raise positive awareness of Mental Health, Fitness and Wellbeing.
It was designed to reduce isolation, engender team-spirit and deliver a platform for a whole University, College and Community approach to Mental Health.
Through Row Britannia, we intend to champion Adaptive Rowing throughout the UK and hope that everyone taking part will continue to row post-Sport Relief.
British Rowing’s partnership with Row Britannia
“British Rowing is delighted to be partnering with Row Britannia’s inspiring initiative for students and young people. Mental Health affects us all and we will invite our British Rowing Clubs and Members to register for Row Britannia and encourage them to link in with their local university and college to support their Row Britannia teams.
I am delighted that this is an inclusive event and will be promoting Adaptive Rowing. This is all about raising vital funds and positive awareness of mental health; I know our athletes and retired Olympic and Paralympic Champions acknowledge and appreciate how difficult it can be for students and young people and are fully supportive of this fantastic challenge”.
