What is Rotary?

Rotary is it's members........

Our impact starts with our members - people who see a world where we unite and take action to create lasting change acrooss the globe, in our communities and in ourselves.

Rotary members are enthusiastic, fun-loving and active volunteers who give their time and talents to serve communities both at home and overseas.

Rotarians are dedicated individuals who share a common interest in helping others. Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland (RotaryGB&I) has over 55,000 members in 1855 clubs. It is an integral part of Rotary International, the world's first service organisation.

Each member enjoys business as well as social networking opportunities whilst giving something back to those less fortunate, learning new skills and having a huge amount of fun!!

Rotary runs countless humanitarian projects both locally, nationally, internationally and also partners with many charities worldwide. Our members organise community projects locally and also work for and with young people to address challenges facing the youth of today.

Members are passionately committed to eradicate polio from the world. Since Rotary became involved in polio eradication in 1985 the number of reported cases has fallen from 100's of thousands in many countries to single figures in just a few years.
