We are a small group (23) of like-minded men and women, part of Rotary International, one of the largest volunteer organisations in the world with 1.2 million members.
Our club was first formed in 1937 and for 88 years has been involved not only in our local community, but also abroad, trying to make a difference to the lives of others, following Rotary's motto 'service above self'.
Many in Widnes will have seen our Christmas float, bringing a little joy to young and old for over 65 years, .... but this is not all we do, so take a look around our website to see what else we get up to!
We meet every two weeks to catch up, make plans and come up with new ideas,
so if this is something that appeals to you, then let us know!
We appreciate that everyone leads busy lives and can't always commit,
but that's fine too - just get in touch in you'd like to know more - we are a friendly bunch!
