DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Diversity Working Party
In 2020 a group of members of the Lea Rowing Club came together to create the Diversity Working Party.
‘The Lea Rowing Club recognises that Rowing is not an ethnically diverse sport; we are on a mission to change this. The I Belong project is going to make the club more representative of the ethnically diverse communities of Hackney, Haringey and Waltham Forest #IBelong’
​
Diversity Working Party – mission statement
Our two main threads of work are to develop an inclusive pathway into the club and create stronger links with our local ethnically and culturally diverse communities.
​
During 2021 we started running several courses as part of our I Belong initiative: Learn to Row, Indoor Rowing and Drop-in sessions. You can read more about these on our I Belong page.
