The Big Row is back: Row the distance from Paris to LA, 5 – 8 September. I believe rowing is for everyone; and everyone can row. Moreover, everyone has the right to row. For some, the experience of rowing offers positive life transformation. Love Rowing is a charity that helps to create opportunities for individuals, particularly those from communities currently underrepresented in our sport, to experience rowing. I was fortunate to start rowing at school several decades ago. It has partly shaped who I am today. I am passionate about rowing’s ability to support physical and mental wellbeing and creating a sense of belonging. I joined Love Rowing as a Trustee in 2021 to contribute to its mission and have met some wonderful rowing people in the process. Love Rowing is British Rowing’s charitable foundation aiming to transform lives through the sport, bringing new diverse communities to rowing. We want more people to experience rowing, whether on land or water, with a focus on traditionally underserved groups, including: - Young people from low socioeconomic backgrounds - People with disabilities - Ethnically diverse communities The Big Row 2024 Row together from Paris to Los Angeles. Starting in the final week of the Paralympic Games in Paris, we’ll cover a total distance of 15,241 km, finishing in LA, the host of the next Olympics and Paralympics. This challenge is for everyone, whether you row on land or water, solo or in a team. We aim to raise £60,000 to support inclusive and accessible rowing projects across the UK. This will help get more people involved in rowing, changing lives for the better. How You Can Get Involved: 1. Register: Click the link below to sign up. 2. Pledge Your Distance: Choose how much you want to row. 3. Get Sponsors: Rally support from friends, family, and colleagues. 4. Row Anytime: Between 5th and 8th September, row whenever and wherever suits you – at home, work, school, rowing clubs, or leisure centres. We’ll also have exciting Big Row venues where you can join us and other participants for a fun, collective rowing experience. More details to follow once you’ve registered!  https://lnkd.in/eG7nZrxu Together, we can make rowing accessible to all and transform lives across the UK.

Everyone at BBF loves rugby. As a business, we get the importance of teamwork, and on a personal level, we know what it means to be part of a herd. The Bristol Bisons RFC are trailblazing inclusivity in rugby and showcasing that everyone has a space and place on and off the pitch. Their energy, enthusiasm and voice for access to sport without prejudice is incredible. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that they are clearly acing the game and always bring the energy to an event! That's why we jumped at the chance to support them with £8,000 towards their training costs over two years. BFF is donating £100k over the next year to help raise up Bristol communities. For the best part, we gift cost-price beer and help our community sell this to generate 3-5 times its value. But we know that beer is not always appropriate and sometimes, groups need hard cash, in real time, to achieve their ambitions. That's why we choose 3 or 4 groups each year and support them with a cash donation; one of them is the Bristol Bisons. Want to find out if the Bisons are your herd? Join them for a trial session on Monday 1st July as part of the Bristol Pride fortnight. Sign up via bisonsrfc.co.uk or if you've missed this window, check them out on socials: instagram.com/bisonsrfc and facebook.com/bisonsrfc Don't forget, every BBF beer you buy gives back to projects and communities like the Bristol Bisons. And as they say themselves, we are #StrongerAsAHerd DRINK WITH PURPOSE #BristolBeerFactory #brewedtogive #standindependent #drinkwithpurpose #bristolcharity #bristol

The 2024 Paralympics are here, and athletes such as blind runners have to rely on a tethered guide to compete. Numerous times, this has ended with guides falling mid-race and taking the runners with them. What if there was a simple solution to change the way these athletes could perform? That's where HapticNav comes in. We did it with Simon Wheatcroft, a blind runner who made history by successfully completing the NYC Marathon with our technology. In 2021, we met with Daniela Velasco, a Paralympic runner, and donated our technology in hopes of showcasing the future of the Paralympics. To Daniela, our technology provided a new sense of freedom. For Haptic, it's all about making the world a bit more accessible for everyone. One athlete, One rider, One person at a time. See what Daniela had to say about our technology: https://lnkd.in/gzmgqfFN #HapticFuture #Paralympics #HapticTechnology #FutureOfNavigation.

Oxford Amateur Rowing Club, formerly the Oxford Academicals Rowing Club (Accies) is an inclusive community that helps make rowing accessible to as many people as possible! Their latest fundraising campaign is for the foundation of a new boathouse (Site surveys, architectural designs, planning fees, and ground works). How you can play your part: There are five simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality. 1. Make a pledge. Whether it's £10 or £1,000 or more (!), we're grateful for any step that helps us get closer to our goal of securing a permanent club home. 2. Sponsor. Could you connect us with a company willing to be a sponsor for our club? We would carry their logo on our website. 3. Spread the word. The more people who know about us, the more chance we have of reaching our target, so please share our crowdfunding page on social media. 4. Offer. Could your business make a donation of rewards we can offer our funders? We will give you a shout out! 5. Fundraise for us. If you have an idea for fundraising on our behalf – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea! https://lnkd.in/euJGRDca
