Leander Club operates on a not-for-profit basis, with all profits going towards funding the rowing programme. For this reason, the club is unable to donate to other charities, or facilitate events that have a negative impact on its finances.
Our operation exists to support the young athletes who row at the club. Our venue hire, membership and events programme raises funds that enable them to perform at the highest level – many of our athletes go on to row for Team GB in World Cups, World Championships and the Olympics.
Any hospitality operation must serve to support this club goal and must not be financially detrimental to the rowing programme. The club is keen to support local charities, however, there must be a financial benefit to the club in the pricing of the event. Please note that if we give a charity a room ‘free of charge’ this represents a cost to us in terms of staffing and loss of more lucrative business.
