About us

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Guernsey

The Rotary Club of Guernsey brings people together to make a practical difference in our island community and beyond.

Our members volunteer their time, skills and energy to support local charities, community projects, young people, international causes and Rotary’s global work, including the campaign to end polio.

In Guernsey, our activities include major fundraising events such as the Saffery Rotary Walk, the Tree of Joy, Christmas Parcels, youth competitions, community support projects and social events that bring people together.

Rotary is also about friendship, fellowship and enjoying working with others. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions, and we welcome people who want to contribute in a way that suits their time, interests and skills.

We meet regularly on Wednesdays at Hotel de Havelet in St Peter Port, where we enjoy good company and one of the best views in Guernsey. Our programme includes a flexible mix of meetings at lunchtime, evening meetings, speakers, business meetings, hands on volunteering and social events.

Visiting Rotarians, guests and anyone interested in finding out more about Rotary are always very welcome. 

Please explore the website to learn more about our projects, events and history. To get in touch, support our work, visit a meeting or ask about membership, please use the Contact or Join Us links.
