Welcome to the website of Chelmsford Mildmay Rotary Club

Chelmsford Mildmay Rotary Club was founded in 1972 and has been active in the Chelmsford area ever since. We have 23 members, both men and women, all of whom wish to give service to the community and to meet socially as friends.

We meet for lunch every Tuesday at the Marconi Club in Beehive Lane, Chelmsford, for a programme of talks, presentations and discussions. This helps keep us aware of ways in which we might be of use, and we raise funds to support various local, national and international causes.

If you do not have time to take up full membership, you might prefer to become a Friend of Rotary. In this way you can still enjoy some social events, help with charity projects or just get a taste of what Rotary is all about. Please CLICK HERE for further details.

Purple4Polio campaign to End Polio Now 

We have planted 30,000 purple crocuses, in partnership with other clubs, at RHS Hyde Hall as part of the Purple4Polio campaign. One strand of the campaign is an exciting partnership between the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and Rotary to plant six million crocuses across Britain and Ireland.

Computers for schools in Tanzania 

Since 2010 we have been involved in a project to send recycled computers from Essex schools and businesses to Tanzania, Africa.  Following the successful shipment of our first three containers, each with 200 computers, printers and other equipment, we are near completion of the fourth and final shipment and will not therefore be seeking further donations of computer equipment. Very many thanks to everyone who has donated. More details here
