Community Service
Supporting our town and surrounding villages in projects which enhance community life.
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 made many donations to local charities, such as Men's Sheds, the Bickford Centre and the Foodbank - totalling over £500,000 since our club first started.
We're also at the Torrington Pannier Market... come and visit our Torrington Rotary stall where you can find out more about our club from our President Martyn Butler, and maybe have a go on the tombola!
Our latest donation to Torrington has been a contribution to the carvings on the Tarka Trail - the photo above shows club President Martyn with guest speaker Jason Isaacs and display of the carvings.
If you know of a local 'good cause' that Rotary might help, please let us know by using the 'Contact Us' link on the home page.
