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.

During the last 2 years we've completed various projects-   installing another  new defibrillator on the Tarka Trail, providing new seating for Torrington Library,  helping fund the new hanging baskets in the Pannier Market and new plants in Sidney House gardens and we've made many donations to local charities, such as Men's Sheds, the Bickford Centre and the Foodbank.  We've donated over £500,000 since our club first started.

We've also been involved in various projects which help those in need overseas- such as knitting baby hats for newborns in Ukraine and of course we still support 'End Polio' campaign, having organised planting of crocuses at several local primary schools.   The adjacent articles tell more about these.

Our latest local fundraising is our Pop-Up Shop in Torrington - now open Monday - Saturday, 10am - 3 pm, with all sorts of good quality, pre-loved items for sale in aid of local charities.   Do come along and grab a bargain-   including terrific beach toys ideal for summer holidays!

We're also at the Torrington Pannier Market... come and visit our Torrington Rotary stall where you can find out more about our club, and maybe have a go on the tombola!
