Every year we raise thousands of pounds on our Christmas sleigh and hopefully bring some happiness and fun to the people of our town. We're hoping to do the same this year!

We have been busy since October with collecting coats for the needy: we were able to do this because of the generosity of both Storefirst who gave us storage free gratis, Padiham Tesco who made a collection box to put in their store.
150 coats, jumpers, socks and several items of childrens clothing were collected in just over 2 weeks and given to charities who know how best to use the items and who to give them to.
In the New Year we will give out small Collins dictionaries to several local schools and asked the children to enter a dictionary competition.
Now we have had several excellent speakers covering a wide range of topics at our meetings
An event held in September was a 'Call my Bluff' evening where we had to guess the correct meaning of words. It was an excuse to get together, enjoy pie and peas and have a good laugh!
We need volunteers to help at different times of the year so, if you can spare an hour or two please let us know.
Santa is doing the rounds VERY soon so look out for him. If he's in your area you will hear him coming!! He'll have the lollies for the children.
Brief route areas are on Padiham Rotary Facebook Page
If you can donate please do but you don't have to.
