Speakers
The Rotary Club of Halstead welcomes guest speakers.
We are very keen to welcome guest speakers to Halstead Rotary Club and these form a regular part of our monthly programme. It’s of great interest and opportunity to find out what going on in the local community or to hear of the good work of a local charity or fund raiser.
Speakers in the past have covered a wide range of topics including,
- · The work carried out by St Helena Hospice
- · A personal challenge walking the pilgrim trail to Santiago de Compostela
- · Hearing about the children’s charity Brainwave
- A talk from a young man who had completed community work in Nicaragua.
- Hearing from young people who have completed a Rotary Youth Leadership course.
If you are interested in coming to talk to the club then please do get in touch via the contact form.
