PARA ROWING FOUNDATION'S
+1 PROGRAM
PRF’s new ‘+1 Program’ comes to life through real action - and the first initiative we’re proud to launch is the ‘+1 Loan Closet’.
The PRF Loan Closet is simple but powerful.
It provides adaptive rowing equipment to international athletes and clubs who need it most as they enter the sport or seek to fulfil their potential… kit that can be re-loaned, again and again.
It’s the fixed seat that lets someone get back on the water after a traumatic spinal cord injury.
It’s the adaptive grip that helps an athlete reclaim their strength and confidence with an oar when recovering from stroke.
It’s the erg that allows an entire generation of young club athletes with impairments to find their fitness and ignite their ambitions.
It’s the difference between just watching from the dock and joining the crew.
PRF has an existing stock of loan equipment. Through this initiative we are looking to grow its size and impact by asking you to simply +1 item today.
But which item? For inspiration and transparency, commonly-loaned equipment and associated costs are:

Why +1?
The Program’s name is born out of common conversations we have with people around the world.
They ask, “How can we build para inclusion?”
PRF answers, “Just start by adding one. Learn together, build confidence and gain momentum.”
One more rower means one more story of courage, connection, and possibility.
The +1 Program is about breaking down barriers and opening the world of rowing to athletes of all abilities. Every time we help one more athlete to row, we strengthen our community — one session, one seat, one opportunity, one heart at a time.
Why Me?
Because you can be the difference!
You don’t have to be a rower to change a life. Whether you donate, share, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, you help bring one more athlete into our sport and into a community that sees ability, not limitation.
Why Now?
Because inclusion shouldn’t wait!
Every day an athlete waits for opportunity is a day too long. Together, we can show that para rowing isn’t just for a few. It’s for everyone, and it’s ready to grow… right now!
