Club Activities

 We have a number of activities which we support either by helping with fund raising or with assistance in organising activities.  Examples of helping disadvantaged children and adults are; the Diana Challenge, (sailing on Plymouth Sound), Kids Out, Holidays for Children, (both day trips for children) and Special Olympics Plymouth & District, (enhancing lives of those with intellectual disability).

We also support Oasis Project (it provides practical care and training for the community in Stonehouse) and  Plymouth Refuge (it provides secure shelter for those suffering domestic abuse), it is President Simon's chosen charity for the year. 'Guerrilla Gardening Project', (a derelict plot at the car park in Stoke is maintained by club members.)  RYLA (Rotary Young Leaders Award which provides high quality leadership training for young people aged between 18 and 30), Polio Plus (Rotary International set the objective in 1985 to eliminate polio.) Young Artist Competition, (for many years this was a local event organised by the club for students in secondary education throughout Plymouth but from this year there was a District competition (Devon & Cornwall) national competition (UK and Ireland).  Isabel Easton of Devonport HS for Girls won the Intermediate category both in the club competition and the District.  Ashlyn Madgwick also of DHSG went one better and won 1st Prize in the senior category in all three competitions. Pirate Weekend (we participate in this annual event raising funds for charities).  We also have an active liaison with two Rotary clubs in South Africa, Hout Bay and Kromboom, (both clubs have projects to improve the lives of those living in terrible conditions in local 'Townships').

Our main fund raising activity is at Christmas when we collect for local charities at selected superstores and from house to house in certain parts of the city.
