Vibrant Club Workshops


Learning & Development

Vibrant Club Workshops - Building on the success of the Membership Growth Workshops held across the district in July 2025 the district team have arranged a series of Vibrant Club Workshops to be held in November 2025.  These are aimed at supporting clubs in ensuring that their 'Product' is fit for purpose and that they are attractive to prospective members in their community.

Details have been sent to Clubs and can also be found on the members only part of this website

Membership Growth events - the summary outcomes of these events, held in Kendal, Preston and Wigton in July 2025 can now be found on the Members Only part of this website.

Update - District Assembly - A recording of the event and a copy of the slides are available on the Members Only side of the Website.

Rotary is a learning organisation, there are many opportunities for members to take on new roles and develop their skills and knowledge.

Our Learning & Development team support the district team, club leaders and members, providing a series of support events during the year.  Events can be face to face or on-line.  

Many of the events are to support incoming district and club leaders, helping them understand the roles they are taking on and identify any further development needs they may have.

Our support complements that provided by Rotary International and Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland.  There is a comprehensive catalogue (log in required using your My Rotary account) of on-line learning available for Rotarians and their Leaders.  Rotary International Learning Centre (external website).

Several of our District Leaders will also offer events during the year, including in relation to Foundation Grants, Membership development ideas etc.

We can provide training opportunities to support our PR activity including the use of our Web Pages, social media and interacting with the press & public.

We are also able to provide facilitators to help leaders who may be considering change within their clubs.

We encourage members to get in touch if they have any specific requests.
