GRANTS 2020 - THE ROYAL ENNISKILLEN BOAT CLUB

Very little was possible in 2020 as most  of the projects which had been awarded grants were on hold, however we were delighted to be able to distantly present one grant in September to the Royal Enniskillen Boat Club. This was towards the purchase of much needed new blades for their young rowers. For over 30 years the club has been open to all young people of the area from all communities. They currently have 110 young rowers, a mix of boys and girls from all six of the post primary schools in the Enniskillen area. Recent years have seen an explosion of rowing activity and there is tremendous team spirit at the club, with older rowers mentoring the younger ones. Rowing encourages both physical and mental health and in these times of growing mental health issues this is vital.
