Some grants made in the past


Help for the Homeless - When the management of the Wharfside Shopping Centre invited us to organise a 'Santa's Grotto' in town in the lead up to Christmas 2015, Rotarians were quick to respond to the call. Thanks to the determination of Rtn. Di Hickman and the fast work of staff and students at Penwith College, a grotto was constructed and ready for use in little more than three weeks. During the two Saturdays before Christmas, over two hundred young children were accompanied by family members on their vists to our Rotarian Santas. 

With homelessness in Penzance a particular concern during the winter months, Penzance Rotary Club members agreed to use the funds raised from running the Christmas Grotto as a donation to the St Petroc's Society - a charity for the homeless that runs a drop in centre in the town.
