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 recrea=onal rowing in a happy, safe, suppor=ve, and enjoyable environment, improving social engagement, health, ftness, confdence, team ethos and encouraging lifelong friendships. This includes those who have an impairment or disability, sufering or recovering from illness including for example cancer, heart problems, depression, social and fnancial depriva=on, ethnic minority disadvantages, young adults, and physical rehabilita=on.

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	We have maintained a steady fow of par=cipants ranging from those with physical disabili=es to those with mental disabili=es; those with fnancial and/or social restric=ons. We have been ofering rowing as a once-a-week session to JRG members, 7 week learn to row courses as well as con=nuing with tasters. Many of the sessions are run by a volunteer but we have also increased the number of paid coaches all of whom undertake DBS checks and safeguarding qualifca=ons via Bri=sh Rowing. The majority of our rowers have been able to row due to the fnancial support we have received via grants and funding. We currently work with the NHS, MacMillan, Keeping Abreast, local schools, Social Prescribing, ADHD HUB, SEN groups, and individuals coming to us with physical and mental disabili=es.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	As well as working with the above groups, we have been expanding to other areas of the community within Gloucestershire to help and support them access the sport. The numbers par=cipa=ng have plateaued this year mainly due to fnding regular coaches. We have maintained our current groups which have a slow increase in par=cipa=on and have ofered rowing to a few new organisa=ons ie ADHD Hub and Podsmead. We currently work with those who have extra mental and physical needs which include wheelchair users, Cerebral Palsy, Ataxia, Au=sm, Asperger’s, brain damage, depression, anxiety, PTSD, recovering from cancer. These par=cipants have become regular rowers and enjoy the sport as well as the safe and suppor=ve space we provide. We ofer all-inclusive rowing crea=ng a strong social and community environment, engaging members to feel valued and having a sense of achievement in a non-judgemental space. We frequently adapt our equipment or coaching to accommodate individuals. We are aware that we are the only club within the Gloucestershire area that ofers this type of facility making our club unique to the county.
