Our story

Help us row the length of the River Tees multiple times to give more children the chance to thrive. Founded in 1864, Tees Rowing Club remains firmly rooted in the heart of the Tees Valley. Based in Stockton-on-Tees, our club has been part of the local community for more than 160 years. Sadly, too many children in our community and across the country are growing up facing extreme poverty and challenges that no child should have to face alone. Our club is completely run by volunteers, who work tirelessly to create a safe space so that everyone can enjoy the river and develop the skills, confidence and friendships that can stay with them for life. We are trying to see how many times we can row the River Tees on the water and on rowing machines, as it winds its way for approximately 137 km (85 miles) from the North Pennines to the North Sea. Between 2 and 13 November 2026, People do have individual pages but which we are collating into this single page as well. So if you believe every child deserves a chance and can spare a few pennies then please do donate. Where your donation goes. This fundraiser brings together BBC Children in Need, the Indoor Sports League, Love Rowing, British Rowing, Comcept 2 and London Youth Rowing. Every donation will be shared between the two charities: * 75% to BBC Children in Need, helping fund vital projects supporting children and young people across the UK. * 25% to Love Rowing, supporting the charitable work of British Rowing and helping more people access the benefits of rowing. BBC Children in Need supports local organisations working with children facing poverty, mental health challenges, bereavement and many other difficult circumstances. Too many children are facing challenges that no child should have to navigate alone. At present, BBC Children in Need can fund only around one in six organisations that apply for support. Your donation can help change that. It can help local projects continue to provide the support, encouragement and safe spaces that give children someone to turn to — someone who listens, believes in them and helps them see a brighter future. Please support us if you can Whether you can donate £5, £10, £20 or simply share this page with your friends and family, every contribution will help. Every km rowed and every pound raised will be for the children who deserve the chance to thrive. One stroke at a time, we can help make a difference.
