NJIRC is organised by London Youth Rowing, a major sports initiative that operates a community based youth rowing programme, currently based in East London, the first such activity with plans to operate across the whole of Greater London. London Youth Rowing has three core activities: rowing programmes for schools and youth clubs, indoor rowing as a sport for young people in London and adaptive rowing programmes for young people with disabilities.
