Support Our Project
Dame Katherine Grainger DBE first stepped in a boat at the West Boathouse in Glasgow. 

With 4 silver medals and 1 gold medal from 5 different Olympic Games, Dame Katherine is the UK's most decorated female Olympian.

In September 2017, Dame Katherine returned to her native Glasgow to share her experience in sport and her thoughts on our project.

Working with volunteers from the rowing clubs, this project will deliver strong community benefits through opening access to the building and the river Clyde, providing:
  
  • Activities to support use of the river
  • Removal of barriers to access the river
  • Skills development + volunteer training
  • Multi-function spaces for community use
  • Improved inclusion and well-being
  • Interpretation of heritage of the site
  • A new lease of life for a historic building

If you'd like to get involved in any of our activities or events, please get in touch!
