Aylsham and District Rotary Club has supported Ukrainian refugees since the start of the war. INITIALLY FUNDRAISING TO PROVIDE THOSE ESCAPING Ukraine with transport, clothing and sleeping bags with other Rotary Clubs in Warsaw and Zamosch. As refugees arrived in Aylsham, our club helped to provide children with laptops and school uniforms. We also helped adults to acquire equipment to carry out their work as they gained work permits.
More recently, many refugees have returned to their families in Ukraine. As a result, Aylsham and District Rotary Club has become a supporter of North Norfolk Aid for Ukraine (NNAfU) by raising funds to partially cover transport costs.
The NNAfU have just arrived back from their latest trip to deliver medical aid and generators to Berlin for distribution in Ukraine. While in Berlin they had an hour to spare and were asked about the possibility of sourcing a fire engine! Amazingly, they have managed to find one. However, together with transport costs, it will require £10,000 to get it to Berlin.
If you know of NNAfU, you will know that this incredible group of volunteers has been taking aid to Ukraine since the very start of the war.
With your help, we are supporting NNAfU’s fundraising appeal, so please give generously.

Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign
Aylsham and District Rotary Club recently set up a Gazebo in Aylsham Market Place to raise awareness and celebrate the achievements of Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign.
One of our members, John Shenton, cycled the newly established Rebellion Way, a 232 mile route around Norfolk.
John’s cycle ride and the collection on the day raised £1000.
This money will make a huge difference to the continuing fight to end polio.
Many thanks to everyone who donated on the day or donated to John’s cycle ride.
