Rotary - What is it?

Rotary is the world’s oldest and largest voluntary service organisation.  With a motto of ’Serviceabove Self’, members seek to serve others while enjoying themselves so doing.  There are some 35,000 Rotary clubs across 166 countries with over a million members worldwide; men and women 

in all walks of life.  Rotary is for people of all races, all religions and of none, and is non-political. 

Founded by Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer, in 1905 along with 5 friends, they held meetings in each others’ homes on a rota system: hence the name Rotary.  Clubs undertake acts of service for their local community with a variety of projects to improve health and education, and raise money for both local charities and disaster relief among disadvantaged communities overseas.

This is just a brief outline of what Rotary is about.  The Rotary Club of Lutterworth Wycliffe is proud to follow in the footsteps of our founders, and, every year, we undertake fundraising activities to raise money for our chosen charities and projects.  Over recent years we have organised fund raising events as diverse as  Music Nights, Choral Workshops, BBQs, Quizzes, and Raffles

Just some of the charities we have contributed to include:
