Fundraising

Maidenhead Rowing Club is raising funds to invest in the future of the club and the athletes who train here every week. Donations will support the upkeep and upgrade of boats, equipment, and facilities, helping us provide a safe, competitive, and welcoming environment for rowers of all ages and abilities.
Every contribution makes a tangible difference. Whether it’s supporting junior development, enabling more people to access rowing, or ensuring the club can continue to compete and grow, your support helps secure Maidenhead Rowing Club for the next generation.

150 Years of Rowing. One Shared Future.

In 2026, Maidenhead Rowing Club celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 150 years on the River Thames. From humble beginnings in 1876 to Olympic podiums and international success, our club has been shaped by generations of commitment, ambition, and community spirit.

This anniversary is not just a moment to look back — it is a chance to secure Maidenhead’s future.

As part of our 150th celebrations, we are launching a year-long programme of fundraising and events, including a commemorative row past at Henley Royal Regatta and a “proper” birthday party, 1876 style. Our goal is ambitious but essential: to raise £80,000 to replace our ageing pontoons.

These pontoons are the gateway to our sport. Every junior learning to row, every adaptive athlete taking to the water, every recreational and competitive crew begins their journey there. Replacing them will benefit every member of the club, now and for decades to come.
