Changing Lives Together Fund

The Changing Lives Together Fund is a partnership between British Rowing and Love Rowing, focused on harnessing the power of rowing to change lives, open up participation, and address inequality in a practical and lasting way.

Who can apply?

This grant is open to any organisation, partnership, club, individual or group who is working to create an inclusive and welcoming sport for all. Love Rowing grants awarded within this fund are eligible for clubs/organisations within Britain and Northern Ireland. British rowing grants awarded within this fund are only eligible for clubs/organisations within England, due to constraints from the funding source.

How much can we apply for?

Applicants are encouraged to consider how much funding is realistically required to support participation initiatives. Grants are expected to range from £500 to over £10,000, with most awards likely to fall between £2,000 and £4,000. We anticipate that more than 50 initiatives will benefit from the fund.

Timelines

Expressions of interests are open until 23 February 2026. They reserve the right to close the grant window early, if they receive sufficient quality applications.

Get early feedback by submitting ahead of the deadline.
