Oarsome Chance brings about change for young people, aged from 9-21 years in the Portsmouth, Gosport and Havant areas who are disengaged from mainstream education and at risk of exclusion and suffering disadvantage. The Oarsome Chance educational programmes offer a combination of vocational skills training (carpentry, engineering, canvas skills and bike recycling) along with dry and on water rowing activities and provide educational and employability benefits to help them connect to a brighter future.
