About us

Tyneside Rotary Newcastle is a community of committed volunteers working together to create lasting change locally and globally. We provide practical support to address urgent needs, from tackling disease and hunger to supporting families, and vulnerable groups in our community and worldwide.

 

Since our charter in 1985, we have raised over £300,000 to support charities and community projects.

 

A few of the organisations we have supported include:

End Polio Now, Hadrian School Breakfast Club, ShelterBox, Kids Out,

Silverline Memories Dementia Charity, Street Pastors, Mbedza Projects,

Smile for Life Café, Local Royal British Legion collection, St Vincent’s Newcastle.

 

Tyneside Rotary is a dynamic club; membership is increasing through both Corporate and Individual Membership. New members are welcome to join us in our important work. There is no commitment to attend meetings every week. We invite you to attend one of our meetings, Thursday evenings at The Copthorne Hotel. The Close, Quayside. Newcastle upon Tyne. NE1 3RT.
