Gloucester Rowing Club is taking part in the BBC Children in Need Row Fundraiser, running between 2nd - 13th November 2026. Over the course of two weeks, members across our junior, senior, masters and recreational squads will be aiming to row 1,846km as a club on rowing machines, in honour of our 180th anniversary!

Children in Need has partnered up with the Indoor Sports League and Love Rowing, British Rowing's charitable foundation, to make this possible. All donations will be split between the charities, with 75% going to Children in Need and 25% going to Love Rowing.

BBC Children in Need believes every child deserves the chance to thrive. Across the UK, they fund vital projects in local communities that support children facing poverty, mental health struggles, grief and other challenges. Too many children are facing impossible challenges alone.

Right now, BBC Children in Need are only able to fund 1 in 6 organisations needing support. Your donation will fund more of these local people and projects to ensure there’s someone who shows up - someone who listens, supports, and believes in them.
