Over the past few years there appears to have been a change in the way the club has been focusing its local and international involvement. From a position where the primary focus was on raising money to give to local and international charities the emphasis has shifted to giving members’ time to support particular local organisations and to involving other organisations, such as local schools, in fulfilling our commitments to international causes. So whilst raising money for our preferred projects will still be important it does not need to dominate our planning.

Our rotary club is already involved in most of the following areas of service within the community and are considering involvement in the Blood Pressure Day project.

                       The Undercliffe Project
                       Assisting with the Marie Curie Daffodil Collection
                        Helping at the Star Appeal for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal
                        Involvement in The Rotary Schools Technology Tournament
                        Hosting Peace and Ambassadorial Scholars
                        Becoming more closely involved with local secondary and primary schools and
                          involving them in our collections for-

                                  Spec Savers, Book Aid, Aqua Boxes and Disaster Box appeals.
                                   Possibly becoming involved in the Blood Pressure Testing Days

Best Wishes
