About us

The Rotary Club of Barkingside was founded in 1951 by 25 local businessmen, professionals, and community leaders. The Rotary Club of Redbridge was founded in 1981. Over the years both clubs have met weekly but separtely but have frequently worked together endeavouring to serve the community through various local projects.
The two clubs also worked with other clubs form different parts of the world as well as with international organizations that promote the Rotary values of promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, saving mothers and children, growing local economies, and supporting the environment. Since 2023, the two clubs have been meeting jointly, and in 2024 formally joined as one club.

Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. There are 33,000 Rotary clubs clustered in Districts in more than 200 countries and geographical areas under the umbrella of Rotary International (RI).

Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotary is essentially a grassroots organisation, with most of its service efforts being carried out at the club level.
The district and international structure is designed to support clubs and help them provide more service in their local communities and abroad.
