A collaboration between @officialsportengland, @britishrowing, @universityofeastlondon and LYR has resulted in a new Start Programme opening in east London. The Start Academy Rowing Programme will link up the LYR Active Row programme and UEL to provide a pathway for young people into the GB Rowing Performance Pathway programme. Based out of @yourroyaldocks and the @queenelizabetholympicpark, LYR will lead on the programme for the first time.
