EAYR Annual Review Academic Year 2024/25
I
Our Mission
What we do:
East Anglia Youth Rowing (EAYR) empowers young people across the region by providing accessible, inclusive opportunities to engage in rowing. We partner with schools and communities to promote physical and mental wellbeing, teamwork, leadership, and personal development.
We are committed to breaking down barriers to participation in this traditionally exclusive sport and harness its potential to build cultural capital and environmental awareness. Through our programs, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of rowing while fostering resilience, confidence, and a sense of achievement among all participants.
Impact:
Overall, the 2024/25 academic year marked our busiest and most impactful yet as we engaged with 2,815 young people through events and courses across Cambridge, Norfolk, and Suffolk. 240 of our students have completed the basic on-water learn to row course and we expect around 30 of our students to join local rowing clubs this year. Both students and educators reported increased enthusiasm and engagement, with student-led coaching model fostering ownership, motivation, and development of leadership skills.
Indoor Rowing
Indoor Rowing
Indoor rowing remains a core part of our program. It allows students to learn the basics of the rowing stroke and to gain fitness at the same time. During the winter when the days are short and weather poor, it also complements our on-water activity. Placing rowing machines at schools, delivering a standardised indoor rowing curriculum - complete with lesson plans and competition structure, and training the teaching staff will allow schools to become more self sufficient and expand our operations. This will be a focus of our 2025/26 plans.
Virtual and School Games Participation:
Two schools entered 80 students into the virtual NIJRC, and a total of 765 young people from 21 Norfolk high schools participated in indoor rowing events, increasing visibility and inclusion in PE curricula.
Challenges and Support:
Some schools faced barriers such as limited access to rowing machines or equipment needing repair. Our coordinators have initiated outreach visits to provide guidance on equipment grants and best practices, ensuring these challenges can be addressed.
On-Water Rowing
EAYR On-Water Rowing Program
During the year, we formalised our core on-water pathways into 3 steps:
-
6 week learn to row course: Run in collaboration with the school or college. At the end of these courses’ students will be able to scull in stable crew boats.
-
Continuation course: Run in collaboration with the school or college. Students who have completed the learn to row course come back each week for continued training. By the end of these sessions, students should be able to scull in fine sculling boats. Transfer to local rowing clubs. We have built relationships with local rowing clubs who can then incorporate these students into their junior rowing programs.
Core Rowing Results
-
Building on the work that we started in previous years, more than 240 students completed the 6-week learn to row courses. Of these 160 were from Cambridge and the balance split evenly between Norfolk and Suffolk. We expect around 50 of these students to progress to the continuation courses during the next academic year. During the year, 40 students from Cambridge participated in continuation training
-
We expect around 30 students will join join local rowing clubs in the next year. The EAYR Summer Regatta brought together 60 children from three different schools in Cambridge for an exciting day of racing and camaraderie. The event was run over a short course by the boathouses. It was quite informal in nature, and, by the end of the day, most students had rowed in multiple events – often mixing crews up between different schools.
-
These activities involved our partner schools which include Parkside, Long Road Sixth Form College, Coleridge, and NCA in Cambridge, and City Academy Norwich, Framingham Earl High School, Wymondham College, East Point Academy Lowestoft, and Ormiston Denes High School.
Outreach and Taster Session
Community Outreach:
Community outreach has remained an important part of our work. Offering taster sessions, and participation in local events, builds connections and drives interest with young people who may have never heard about rowing as a sport before During the year we participate in many outreach activities where young people could experience indoor rowing or on-water rowing for their first time.
Cambridge
-
250 children participated in indoor rowing at Coleridge Community College’s Sports Day 150 children participated at Ely sports events
-
150 at the Colour Run – an event organised by Living Sport to encourage physical activity within Cambridgeshire schools.
Norfolk/Suffolk
-
765 young people from Years 5 to 10 took part in the Norfolk School Games Organisers' indoor rowing events. Twenty-one Norfolk high schools participated in indoor rowing activities, leading to increased visibility for the sport, renewed school engagement, and the inclusion of indoor rowing in the PE curriculum at least half of these high schools.
-
In Norfolk and Suffolk, events such as This Girl Can, the Norfolk Schools Careers Fair, and the SNSP Indoor Rowing Competition introduced 614 young people to rowing who may not have otherwise had the opportunity.
Staff Training and Capacity building
Go Row Indoor Workshops
The Go Row Indoor Rowing Teacher Workshop was delivered to 17 staff members from five schools, providing valuable continuing professional development. This training aimed to boost staff confidence in delivering rowing as part of their PE lessons and to ensure the sustainability of the projects as EAYR support is gradually reduced.
Impact on our team
A pathway for six young coaches (aged 16 to 19) was established, progressing them from junior rowing leaders to assistant coaches. This group included four female and two male coaches, all supported through mentoring and the demonstration of good practice by lead coaches. Participants have been directed to both online and in-person British Rowing courses as part of their coaching development. In Norfolk, an additional first-year UEA student joined the project to develop indoor rowing coaching skills and is planning to continue into a second-year placement to further develop expertise in water rowing coaching.
Staff changes
In January, we said farewell to Susannah Cass who launched our Cambridge hub in 2022. She did an amazing job building the program from the ground up. Her replacement, Sam Richardson, joined in February bringing a wealth of experience in sport science and the charities sector. At the end of our year, Jeni Barnacle, who built up our Norfolk and Suffolk program decided to move on, her replacement is Bryony Randall an experienced rower and cox who has just graduated from Long Road Sixth Form academy. Thanks to Susannah, Jeni and Sam for their commitment and hard work throughout the year.
Case Studies: Norfolk and Suffolk
Partnership with Oulton Broad
The Lowestoft Pilot Project received grant funding from LoveRowing and DryRobe including a donation of robes for use bystudents at sessions. Both organisations attended the Oulton Broad Water Festival on Saturday 17th May meeting young people and families to talk about the benefits of rowing. Students in Suffolk were also given a beach sprints taster session to help raise visibility of this new Olympic discipline.
Case Study: East Point Academy Lowestoft
The main focus was indoor rowing with a launch the entire Year * cohort (150 students) and a workshop for teachers to enable them to deliver indoor rowing sessions. An after school indoor rowing club was established and this was complemented by an internal competition during PE lessons for all students in Years 7 - 10.
The fastest 2 girls and 2 boys in each year group plus the after-school clubs submitted their times to NJIRC 25. In the summer term, the after school club moved to on-water sessions.
Case Study: Ormiston Denes of High School
Indoor rowing was launched to the entire Year 8 group of 150 students. 4 PE teachers participated in an indoor rowing workshop. An after school indoor rowing club ws set up and, in the summer, this moved to on water sessions.
Case Study: Farlingaye HS Woodbridge /Deben RC
We continued to provide lunchtime and curriculum indoor rowing programme across the school. Some of the pupils finished in top 10 at virtual NJIRC and a bronze medal in J18 girls team relay. The NJIRC competition was hosted by Deben RC with 47 pupils competing
Case Studies: Cambridge
Case Study: Parkside Community College – United Learning Trust, Cambridge
In a partnership with Parkside, EAYR delivered a six week learn to row course to three clases from the Year 8 group. The course was delivered to groups of 25 - 30 students during a normal PE session. At the end of the course, they were able to race each other over a short (100m) course. Several of the students have already joined town rowing clubs so that they can continue to row and the activity is now part of the Year 8 plan at the school.
Case Study: Coleridge Community College – United Learning Trust, Cambridge
Students in year 9, 10 and 11 at Coleridge Community College in Cambridge have attended weekly rowing sessions on the river. Alongside the rowing skills and confidence that students have gained from weekly water sessions, cycling to the boathouse has allowed students to developed skills around independence and independent travel, bike maintenance and cycle safety. 4 of the year 11 cohort studied PE as part of their GCSE curriculum and their performance and activities on the water were a significant part of their practical assessments.
Case Study: North Cambridge Academy – Meridian Trust, Cambridge
A group of 16 year 8 students (all pupil premium) completed the 6 week learn to row course and then continued with weekly training sessions, progressing quickly to fine boats. 12 of the students have joined a town rowing club to continue to row competitively. The school has seen notable increases in confidence and personal maturity in the students that participated in the program.
Case Study: Long Road Sixth Form College
Although most of EAYR work has focused on year 8 - 10 to date, we took the opportunity to work with Long Road putting 20 students through the 6 week learn to row course. They competed in the summer regatta and we will start a new cohort in the new acadmic year.
Plans for the 2025/26 Academic Year
Rowing Competitions
An EAYR-organized winter indoor competition cycle will be launched including local (in town and regional (East of England) events. These will be open to all schools including private schools and schools who are not part of the EAYR program. Indoor rowing will culminate with entries into NJIRC for most of our schools.
We will build on what we learned this year and plan to run several local summer regattas, culminating in an EAYR East of England summer regatta.
Expansion of our operation
-
Continued expansion into new schools and areas across the East of England. During the new academic year, we will be expanding our reach to the following schools Malcolm Arnold Academy (Northampton), Cambridge Regional College, and Bewick Bridge Community Primary School, spanning a broad age range and geographical area.
-
We are also working to build relationships with the new Hornets Rowing Club based in Earith which will allow us to connect with an underserved area north of Cambridge. Deepening our relationships within the Norfolk and Suffolk area to provide a stronger path for our students to progress into rowing with their local clubs.
-
Increased investment in access to and use of indoor rowing equipment and staff training to overcome current barriers.
-
Strengthening coaching pathways for young leaders, with ongoing mentoring and professional development opportunities. The goal is to create a cohort of young BR qualified coaches who can be an asset to their communities
-
Development of strong champions in each of the schools with which we work i

East Anglia Youth Rowing Ltd Company No. 14063804 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
East Anglia Youth Rowing’s mission is to expand access to rowing for young people from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds by delivering sustainable, school centred programmes that open a clear pathway from first exposure, through rowing at the school, to full participation in club rowing.
EAYR partners with local rowing clubs, school staff, and trained coaches (paid and volunteer) to provide a capital light, scalable model that embeds rowing within schools and enables long term community ownership. The program includes indoor rowing, learn-to-row, summer rowing camps, and an inter-school competitive element. EAYR also supports finding finance to support these programs once they become developed, whether that is self-funding from the school, local charities, or external commercial sponsorships.
Rowing teaches resilience, teamwork, discipline, and determination—values that extend far beyond the water. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to experience these benefits, regardless of their circumstances.
Public Benefit
Overall, the 2024/25 academic year marked our busiest and most impactful yet as we engaged with 2,815 young people through events and courses across Cambridge, Norfolk, and Suffolk. 240 of our students have completed the basic on-water learn to row course and around 30 of our students are expected to continue with the sport by joining local rowing clubs this year. Both students and educators reported increased enthusiasm and engagement, with student-led coaching model fostering ownership, motivation, and development of leadership skills.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
