The cost of living crisis is affecting everyone up and down the country, including the student rowers of UBBC.

Like many other rowing clubs UBBC is finding the costs of running the club increasing - these include fuel to get to training and races, race fees, spare parts and equipment, boat repairs, vehicle repairs, and kit. Rowing and living in Bristol has never been cheap, but students' budgets are now being squeezed more than ever!

Thanks to the generous support of 150+ regular donors we've been able to support several students from lower income backgrounds train and race with UBBC this season by providing them with individual grants. These grants have helped them cover the costs of membership, attendance at national rowing events, and kit. In addition to this we've been raising funds destined for the purchase of new boats and equipment for the club to help them keep their membership costs as low as possible.

This support has been provided through The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation; an independent charity founded by alumni of UBBC. We are currently the only charity in the UK which provides support of this kind to university student rowers.
