Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Just Row Gloucestershire has been setup to promote and encourage rowing for those in the community who might be described as disadvantaged in some way. Our aim is to enable anyone who wishes to enhance their lives by sport and thereby improve their health, do so via recreational rowing in a happy, safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment, improving social engagement, health, fitness, confidence, team ethos and encouraging lifelong friendships. This includes those who have an impairment or disability, suffering or recovering from illness including for example cancer, heart problems, depression, social and financial deprivation, ethnic minority disadvantages, young adults, and physical rehabilitation. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Our focus and our activities are around rowing and helping the community access the sport and learn to row. We have maintained a steady flow of participants ranging from those with physical disabilities to those with mental disabilities; those with financial and/or social restrictions. We have been offering rowing as a once-a-week session. Most of the sessions are run by a volunteer except for the junior tasters/learn to row/summer camps where the ratio is much higher. Most of our rowers have been able to row due to the financial support we have received via grants and funding (see ‘Funding & Grants’). |

Para 1.20 | JRG offers learn to Row; tasters; regular membership sessions; summer camps and indoor rowing. Rowing sessions are run by one volunteer who takes individuals from beginners. They operate all year, one to two days a week depending on numbers. When schools have taken up the opportunity, more coaches are required and the sessions take place after school or during the holidays. We have been working with several different areas of the community as described above and are helping them access the sport. The numbers are slowly climbing and the sectors that we are targeting are becoming more diverse. We currently work with the mentally and physically disabled which include wheelchair users, those with Cerebral Palsy, Ataxia, Deafness, Autism, Asperger’s, Brain damage, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. These participants have become regular rowers and enjoy the sport as well as the environment. We offer all-inclusive rowing. Our aim is to get anyone who wishes to row, on the water. We often need to adapt our equipment for individuals to accommodate their disability. We are aware that we are the only club within the Gloucester/Cheltenham area that offers this type of facility. |
