The Steve Redgrave Fund

The Steve Redgrave Fund aims to use the power of sport and sporting activity to bring about positive change in the lives of disadvantaged children, young people and their communities.

The Fund supports community groups, small charities and schools in areas of economic or social deprivation, predominately in the UK, who use sport and sporting activities - especially but not exclusively rowing - to promote physical and emotional wellbeing, the inclusion of people having difficulties in their lives, community cohesion, and education.

The Belfast indoor rowing programme is being delivered in four local schools, four community centres and at Queen`s Physical Education Centre. During the first year of the programme, 55 indoor rowing machines will be distributed between the schools and community venues.
