Refurbishment Grants

The Rowing Foundation offers refurbishment grants to UK rowing clubs for boats used exclusively by juniors, those in full-time education, or adaptive rowers of any age. The grant provides financial support for hull and tops service refurbishment work on rowing boats. The maximum grant available is £4,000 in any five-year period across both equipment and refurbishment grants, or 50% of the refurbishment cost, whichever is smaller. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with no specific deadlines. Clubs must secure their own quotes from boat repairers and demonstrate that matching funds are already available. All refurbished boats will display saxboard stickers acknowledging the support of the Rowing Foundation and Henley Royal Regatta Charitable Trust.
