Working Together for Others
We raise over £15,000 each year for local, national and international charities and other causes.
Our members also give their time and skills to community service projects.
10% of all we collect goes to Rotary International Foundation. This fund is supported by Rotary Clubs world-wide and one of its major projects for the past 20 years has been the gradual elimination of polio throughout the world by funding vaccination programmes. An end to polio should be achieved within the next three to five years. Recently the Bill Gates Foundation gave £50 million to the project.
