Community Service

The Community Committee of Torrington Rotary works on mainly local projects aimed at supporting those who live in our town and surrounding villages.

The projects we have been involved in have varied from installing defibrillators on the Tarka Trail & at the Golf Club to providing new seating for Torrington Library and helping fund the new hanging baskets in the Pannier Market and new plants in Sidney House gardens.   We've also run the 'Wrap Up'  scheme for the past 2 winters, providing good coats to those in need.    Since our club first started, we've raised over £500,000 to donate to many charities, locally and overseas.

We're also at the Torrington Pannier Market... come and visit our Torrington Rotary stall on the last Saturday morning each month, where you can find out more about our club from our President Martyn Butler, and maybe have a go on the tombola! 

The photos above are from our meeting in January 2026, when guest speaker Ang told us about Torrington's Climate Change Room, and our March meeting when cyber crime expert Mick Harrison gave a brilliant talk on how to protect our online presence. 

At our August 2026 meeting we heard from Freddie Ware, founder of Miles of Smiles CIC which helps youngsters with additional needs.   An inspirational young lady with a passion for giving and caring.   You can learn more about Freddie here  https://www.facebook.com/p/Miles-Of-Smiles-CIC-100095063202245/
