We provide and look after the buildings, facilities and open space that keep rowing and canoeing alive at Whitlingham — for schools, clubs and the whole Norfolk community.
The provision and upkeep of buildings, facilities and open space dedicated to rowing and canoeing at Whitlingham, on the edge of the Norfolk Broads.
A home base for amateur rowing and paddling — keeping the water accessible, the boats housed and the doors open to clubs of every level.
Supporting education and training through sport, so that new generations can learn to row, paddle and belong on the water safely.
Acting as a resource body for other charities and voluntary groups that share our stretch of the river — one foundation, many crews.
Norfolk — at Whitlingham Lane, Trowse, beside the Broad on the River Yare just south-east of Norwich.
By providing buildings, facilities and open space — and by acting as an umbrella body for the clubs and groups who use them.
Whitlingham Boathouses Foundation exists so that rowing and canoeing remain open to all — children learning their first stroke, veterans returning to the river, and every club in between. No paid staff, no trading subsidiaries: just a community keeping its boathouses standing.
No trustee receives any remuneration, payments or benefits from the charity. Governance is given freely, in the spirit of the club.
The foundation does not run trading arms. Income goes to the buildings, the facilities and the open space — nothing else.
Accounts and annual returns are up to date with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, charity number 1133063.

The boathouses sit on Whitlingham Lane in Trowse, on the River Yare at the edge of Whitlingham Country Park — a short walk or paddle from the city, and a world away from it.
