Welcome to the Steve Redgrave Fund website.
"I'm really fortunate to have achieved some amazing things in my life and believe it or not, these don't just centre on five Olympic gold medals! Of course,
I'm honoured to be considered Britain's greatest Olympian but I'm also tremendously proud of the influence that my achievements have had on other people -
especially those who wouldn't normally think about rowing or don't consider themselves 'sporty'.
Activity doesn't just have to be about hard training - it can also be about fun, but most importantly, it's a key factor in improving how we think about ourselves.
Self belief and self esteem are absolutely essential in helping us reach our full potential - me included!
For me, the results achieved through the Steve Redgrave Fund and the fact that they continue to make a positive difference in people's lives are just as wonderful and important to me as five Olympic Golds."
Sir Steve Redgrave CBE
Middlesbrough Launch
November 2010 saw the launch of the latest indoor rowing initiative, this time in schools and colleges across Middlesbrough.
The grant from the Steve Redgrave Fund, delivered in cooperation with the School Sport Partnership, saw 11 schools and three colleges benefit from the indoor rowing scheme which will provide each institution with five rowing machines and accessories. Machine providers, Concept 2, will also train teachers to link up the rowing machines for competitions on a local, regional or national basis and provide teachers with ideas on how to incorporate rowing into the curriculum.
