Our Charity

The Vision for our charity, Fulham Reach Boat Club (FRBC) is to be a Sport for Good Centre of Excellence, transforming lives through rowing by making it an accessible, inclusive, and transformative activity.

FRBC aims to promote physical and mental health, personal development, community engagement, and social integration for people of underserved backgrounds.

Our Mission is to provide rowing opportunities for individuals from underserved backgrounds, focusing on three key impact areas:

1.      Youth Development – Improving physical and mental well-being of young people, via a pathway of State School Rowing, Free Water Sport Weeks and Junior Courses, and a Junior Squad with Bursary places.

2.      Crime Reduction via Boats Not Bars – Reducing reoffending rates through structured opportunities.

3.      Accessible Rowing – Ensuring rowing is accessible and adapted to people with disabilities.

Across all our work we strongly believe in "The health of our space, that's the place for our health".

Environmental Action - We are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability so that we can be positive role models to everyone we work with. 

The foundation for the success of FRBC can be distilled down to six key ways of working:

• Safety-led and a safe environment
• Financially sustainable
• Understanding of community need
• Demonstrating Impact and continuous improvement
• Good Governance
• Robust policies and processes
