Welcome from Club President Lesley Meredith

We care about Communities

The reason we say this is because we often get asked "What does Rotary do?" We are a diverse group of people, from all walks of life, who action local, national and international projects. The Rotary movement is big, with 34,282 clubs and over 1.2 million members worldwide. As you can imagine there are a lot of different projects going on.

Last year was one of action, impact and connection for Hemel Hempstead Rotary.  We raised nearly £23000, supported dozens of charities and shared many memorable moments together.

Highlights include:

• Raising £15000 through the Santa Sleigh, supporting 48 local charities
• Quiz Night raised £2300 for community causes
• Easter fundraiser contributed £1000 to Dacorum Community Trust
• Supported global causes including Mercy Ships, Polio Eradication, Shelter Box and Red Rubber Ball Foundation
• Ran the Technology Tournament, Youth Speaks and Young Artist competition with Berkhamstead Rotary
• Enjoyed talks from journalists, veterans, charities and fellow Rotarians
• Celebrated our 90th Anniversary with a special dinner at La Banq
• Gathered for events at Opus Kitchen, Abbots Tandoori and our summer garden party
• Supported local events like Kings Langley Carnival, Marie Curie collection, Hospice of St Francis Bubble Run and Rememberance Sunday
