Fundraising Activities
The Penzance Rotary Club actively engages in a wide range of fundraising activities, supporting both local and international causes through creative, community-driven events.
Fundraising with Fun and Community Spirit
The Rotary Club of Penzance has been busy bringing people together and raising vital funds for local causes with a lively mix of events and activities.
This summer, our ever-popular Human Fruit Machine drew smiles and laughter at both Morvah Pasty Day and the Mousehole Carnival, with Rotary members “spinning” their arms and revealing three fruits at random to the delight of the crowds.
Motor enthusiasts were treated to a spectacular display at the Classic Car & Motorbike Show on Penzance promenade, where gleaming vehicles from across the decades attracted visitors from far and wide.
Every pound raised goes directly towards making a positive difference, and the Club is grateful to everyone who took part, donated, or came along to enjoy the fun. Together, we’re driving positive change in our community.
In addition, the Rotary charity shop continues to thrive, offering quality bargains and a friendly welcome — with every purchase helping to support community projects, charities, and individuals in need in our local community.
