About us
Welcome to the revamped website of the Rotary Club of Cowdenbeath.
Rotary is a global network of nearly 1.5 million volunteers who give of their time, knowledge and experience, to help to improve lives in their own communities and worldwide. The Rotary Club of Cowdenbeath was founded in 1923.
It comprises local people who are committed to serving their local community.
We want to be involved and to give something back to the Cowdengelly Area.
We meet every second Thursday evening at Wee Jimmies in Cowdenbeath for a meal, fellowship and to discuss opportunities to raise funds and to be involved in projects in our own community and also worldwide.
It is not essential that a Club Member should attend every meeting.
We are a hard working Club.
For example, Cowdenbeath Rotary Club in the last few years has :-
•Helped local families with gifts of much-needed Christmas hampers.
•Provided clean water by way of a new Well to a community in Zimbabwe.
•Contributed to the Fight against Polio by supporting End Polio Now.
•Supported education by hosting the local Primary School Quiz for Schools in our Rotary Zone; giving talks in our local Primary Schools; and donating Prizes to our local Secondary Schools' Awards Evenings.
•Protected our environment by doing local litter picks
• Honoured local history by installing a Plaque in Brunton Square, Cowdenbeath commemorating the Mining Industry in our local community, and involving our Primary School children in planting poppies to remember the locally buried War Dead.
•Given donations to local worthwhile causes, for example, to help in the repair of a local community area damaged by a Storm.
• Delivered Shoe Boxes full of essential items to those in dire need in Ukraine
•Supported Rotary Young Leaders' Awards (RYLA) where local secondary school children can experience hands-on challenges, exposing them to leadership scenarios and team building.
• Raised funds, whether at a Burns Dinner, a Duck Race, Tombolas at Galas, or Concerts, for example to purchase, install and maintain life saving defribillators at key local places where there is currently an unmet need.
•Helped the environment, by promoting a competition for local schoolchildren to grow Crocus Flowers
•Recognised the wonderful work undertaken by those in our local area for our community.
