Our launch

Launch Day: Come Join Us on the Water (Well… almost!)
Date TBC – but you’re all invited.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Heron Thames, our new rowing club and charity built by and for women in breast cancer recovery. This isn’t just a launch—it’s a chance to be part of something from the very beginning.

Our open Launch Day will be a relaxed, welcoming event where you can learn more about who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved—whether as a future member, volunteer, supporter, or friend. Drop by to meet the team, explore one of or training spaces by Chiswick Bridge, try out some gentle activities (think yoga, rowing machine intros, or a creative writing corner), and hear from incredible speakers who know what recovery really looks like.

You’ll be able to sign up for our first taster session—a more private day for anyone interested in joining HERON Thames as a recovery member. There’ll also be opportunities to register your interest in volunteering (in big ways or small), donate, or simply connect.

We’re starting small—with just one or two rowing pods—but we’ve got big plans. So come say hi, bring a friend, and help us shape the future of HERON Thames.

We can’t wait to meet you.
