Row Britannia 2020

Row Britannia

Raising money for Mental Health through Sport relief

We will be participating in a nationwide campaign called Row Britannia, aimed at raising money for Mental Health through Sport Relief. As part of the challenge students and staff need to row a total of 2020 miles. We are hoping to raise a target of £3000 during the course of the challenge.  All Universities have been invited to take part in the challenge and will work towards raising a target of over £1.5 million for sport relief.

No matter how you choose to contribute to the challenge, either by rowing, donating, or just reaching out to your friends to make sure they're okay, you can make a real positive difference.

Sponsor our rowers and donate using our our central page.

Get Involved

No matter how you get involved everything helps.

We will have rowing machines dotted around campuses from the week commencing 2 March. We encourage everyone to get involved.
