The Rotary Club of Yeovil will pay £500 to the candidate(s) selected to attend a course - the successful candidate(s) will have to raise a further £100 to show their committment. The RYLA scheme has enjoyed great success over the years and feedback from those attending the scheme is extremely positive with claims that it is 'life changing'.
