Welcome to Rotary Chichester!

Want to know more about getting involved with Rotary in Chichester?

Rotary is a worldwide organisation for both men and women and is very active in the UK and in Chichester too.

Rotary is a great way of helping the local community and making a new circle of local friends and like-minded colleagues, whilst having some fun, and at the same time helping give something back.

Chichester has three individual Rotary Clubs who cooperate and liaise with one another and are as one when it comes to serving the community whilst enjoying friendly rivalry. Although the three Clubs operate individually, they very much share the same ideals

Rotary - Chichester 

Chichester Rotary Club is the longest serving of our three local Rotary clubs and has been an important part of the city for more than a century 

We get together alternate weeks at Tuesday lunchtimes, usually at the Cloisters Restaurant within the environs of Chichester Cathedral, starting at 1 pm

We share a light lunch in convivial company while planning local projects for the benefit of the community. Additionally we often get together socially, as well as when running events and projects in the community. 

Even if joining a Rotary club that meets regularly isn’t right for you at present, we’re always grateful to welcome extra volunteers to help with individual projects, so please do get in touch

If you’d like to have an exploratory chat, or to give a try to coming along to one of our get-togethers, you’ll receive a warm welcome. Please get in touch with
