About us

Welcome to Rainhill Rotary!

We have been serving the community of Rainhill since 1986.

We continue planning our key events during the Rotary year which will include our Community Support Fund, Rainhill Beer Festival and Xmas Santa Sleigh. 

Our signature fundraiser is the annual Beer Festival which reaches its 22nd year and over the period has raised an incredible £575,000 for local good causes and charities. This year's event will be held from 15th - 17th October 2026 with last years raising over £31,000.  

We are a diverse group of volunteers who enjoy working together on projects and building friendships. We meet weekly at Rainhill Recreational Club and continue to support the community.  

Becoming a Rotarian is a tremendous way to make friends, increase your social and business network and put something back into the local and worldwide community.

Graham Barker was invested as our 40th President for 2025-26, on 26th June 2025 at Rainhill Recreational Club in the presence of ADG Peter Holden.

Enjoy your second term in office Graham .... look after the Ming vase!

 

Importantly we are very active within the local community organising and supporting:

 

  • The Christmas Santa Float visiting the local and surrounding areas during December, culminating our efforts on Christmas Eve in Rainhill Village centre. This raises further funds for distribution.
  • The 22nd annual Rainhill Beer Festival takes place from 15th - 17th October 2026. It is one the largest charity Beer Festivals in the North of England, attracting many visitors from out of the area and raising significant funds for local, national and international causes.
  • The annual Community Support Fund, invites organisations to apply for donations from Rainhill Rotary. The chosen organisations can receive a donation.
