'Join in Somerset'

Join in Somerset - Rotary Club of Taunton and High Sheriff Celebrate Volunteering in Taunton


The Rotary Club of Taunton recently came together with the High Sheriff of Somerset, Rob Beckley, to celebrate the spirit of volunteering in Taunton Together. The event, held in collaboration with numerous local charities, offered these organisations the opportunity to showcase their work, network with the community, and encourage new volunteers to get involved.

 

Rotary members from both the Taunton and Taunton Vale Clubs provided essential support throughout the day, acting as marshals and assisting in the smooth running of the event.

 

Pictured here at the Musgrove Park Hospital League of Friends stand are Rotary Club of Taunton President Tracey Khodabandehloo, President-Elect Adrian Prior-Sankey, and Vice-President Nigel Handbury.

 

This celebration of local volunteering was a shining example of the Rotary Clubs' ongoing dedication to making a difference in Taunton and beyond.
