Welcome to the AHOY Centre

 

We are a charity that changes people’s lives and builds life skills through sailing, rowing, powerboating and other activities on and off the water. We offer opportunities for disadvantaged, at-risk and disabled young people to engage in activities and courses on an equal level with other young people from a wide range of backgrounds. We regularly witness how participants’ behaviour and attitudes to education change when they are given the opportunity to develop their skills, team work and confidence on our programmes. AHOY opens doors that lead to fulfilling careers and provides skills to help participants make positive choices in their future lives.

Oarsome Rowing season
Start now

The AHOY Oarsome Rowing Season is getting underway, and we are looking for teams of six to take part in one of our three iconic Thames-based rowing challenges.

We need hundreds of competitors across a range of sectors, from seasoned rowers to complete novices to join us on the water in 2024.

An experience of a lifetime, the competitive Oarsome Rowing Challenge is a wonderful way to incorporate physical exercise, team building and boosting your mental health. Most importantly you will be raising money to help some of London’s most disadvantaged young people and disabled adults.

Plus, there’s the wonderful post-row party at The AHOY Centre’s beautiful, fully licensed riverside hall. The Thames awaits, but spots are scarce.
