Sheffield Forgemasters employees are taking part in a 24hr Rowing Challenge on Monday 8 September (12pm) to Tuesday 9 September (12pm).

This challenge is raising money for the HMS Oardacious – Submariner Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, which supports Submariners and their families.

In 2024, the challenge raised over £22,000 for the Submariner Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, with over £4,000 of donations coming directly from Sheffield Forgemasters' efforts. Here's hoping for another great effort this year!

The 24-hour rowing challenge involves individuals from across Whitehall and some of the DNO's biggest partners (Rolls-Royce, Submarine Delivery Agency etc;) to celebrate the formation of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise and to experience some of the challenges that are faced by the HMS Oardacious team when they race across the Atlantic every winter.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
