What does your not-for-profit do and what is your role as a trustee?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

London Youth Rowing (LYR<\/em><\/strong>) believes in sport, specifically rowing, for social change and uses rowing to empower young people to aspire, believe and achieve. LYR provides opportunities for young people from disadvantaged areas to experience the benefits of rowing through our range of coaching, inclusion, and health programmes. The organisation creates opportunities and an environment for young people to fulfil their potential and experience success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How did you become a trustee there\/what was your journey to becoming a trustee there?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I used to be an international rower, retiring after the London Olympics in 2012. I got so much from the sport. After I retired, I wanted to find a way to be involved in the sport and enable more young people to get the opportunities, experiences and benefits I received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
