Phil's final fling....
Outgoing President, Phil Naylor, shares £14,000 between 24 charities!
At the end of each Rotary year, at the end of June, outgoing Rotary Presidents' traditionally make charitable donation from funds generated during their year in office.
Phil Naylor, outgoing Clitheroe Rotary President, awarded no fewer that 24 charities with a total in excess of £14,000.
The money was raised with events such as Santa's Sleigh, Ribble Valley Ride, Charity Golf day and many other fund raising initiatives.
The star of this years recipients was Harvey Hind from Clitheroe. Harvey, together with mum Kim and dad Sam, represented SENSE. Harvey is five years old and is the worlds first deaf blind actor and according to mum Kim, may one day be the first deaf blind James Bond! Harvey appeared on the BBC's Eastenders and now has an agent to handle future projects he's being offered, to promote SENSE.
Another local children's charity receiving a donation is MILLY'S SMILES. Founded in memory of Milly, her mum Lorraine, wanted to help families who's children are diagnosed with cancer related illness. Each child arriving for a hospital stay receives a bag known as the Milly Bag, containing lots of essential items, plus some fun items to help them on their way. Each Milly Bag costs around £140.
Many other charities received donations from Clitheroe Rotary including:
Ribble Valley Crossroads Care, Derian House Children's Hospice, The Army Benevolent Fund, Mountain Rescue, Carers Link, Art4All, Calvert Trust, Mercy Ships, Smile Train, RV Gateway Trust, Water Survival Box, East Lancs Carers Support, Home-Start, UK Med, Salvation Army, Cancer Bank, Guide Dogs, Marie Curie, Mary's Meals, Scouts, Polio Plus and the Rotary Foundation.
Incoming President, Ian Tate, hopes to equal or even exceed this amount in the coming Rotary year.
