Our Rotary Club
There are many reasons that people join Rotary, but one key thing that brings us together is the wish to help people. Some of the things that happen in our world can seem so devastating that we wonder whether the little things we do can possibly make a difference. Well, our Club is part of an international organisation which means that our individual efforts, when taken together, are a huge force for good. We can and do make a difference.
Sometimes it can feel like we are taking on too much. When that happens, step back and remember that person lying prostrate next to their child who has just died from the preventable disease Polio, or from drinking infected water. Perhaps picture the disabled child with tears in their eyes looking out at a world of which they do not feel part. Then think about how you can make a difference in their lives.
“To have compassion for someone in need is one of the greatest qualities human beings have - doing something to help is another.” - Carl Midgley.
Deepings Rotary Dance to Raise Funds for Prostate Cancer UK
On the 14th June 2025, Deeping Rotary were collecting funds to support Prostate Cancer UK at Tesco in Deeping. We try to support this cause each year, as it is something which touches the lives of so many people.
The highlight of the day was a dance display put on by members of Deepings Rotary, in collaboration with students of the Dream Dance Deeping and kept in order by Halley and Jaden, the two dance instructors.
It was very successful with a total of five routines performed, some by Rotarians, some by the children and one combined. Two performances were given.
Needless to say, the children showed us how to do it, but everyone said how much they enjoyed the performances. It was wonderful to see the smiles on the faces of spectators and performers alike.
At the end, certificates were presented to the Dream Dance Deeping performers, recognising their vital contribution to this event.
In total, due to the generosity of people of the Deepings and surrounding villages, £800.00 was raised for Prostate Cancer UK. Thank you.
Thanks are due to the Dream Dance Deeping instructors who gave up so much time to support what Rotary was trying to do. And Tesco for allowing us to carry this out.
