Community Service

Rotary Community Service in Penzance

The Rotary Club of Penzance is dedicated to improving life in our community through practical service, fundraising, and strong local partnerships. Our work is guided by the Rotary values of integrity, friendship, and Service Above Self.

Supporting the Community Through the Rotary Shop

Our Rotary Shop in Penzance is at the heart of our fundraising. Because we sell only donated goods and the shop is run entirely by volunteers, funds go directly back into the community. The club has supported dozens of charities, groups, and initiatives across Penzance and West Cornwall.

Hands‑On Local Projects

Our members take part in practical community activities, including:

• Tree planting
• Beach cleaning
• Environmental and local partnership projects

We have also delivered valued local events such as the Annual Senior Citizens Christmas Party, the St Michael’s Way sponsored walk, and the Penwith Peninsula Cycle Ride. The club continues to support talented young people in education, sport, and the arts.

Welcoming New Members

We’re always open to new members, because fresh faces bring fresh ideas. New perspectives help us launch exciting projects while strengthening our ongoing community work.

A Stronger Future Together

In 2025, the Rotary Clubs of Penzance and Mounts Bay merged to form a single, unified club, combining decades of experience, skills, and service. This consolidation allows us to expand our impact, build on the legacy of both clubs, and continue delivering meaningful projects for the people of West Cornwall.
