FROM ROTARY NEWTON AYCLIFFE TO MOMBASA

A couple of months ago, Bernard Borsberry visited Rotary Newton Aycliffe to speak about his recent trip away and how he became interested in supporting youth football in a distant land.

ay, our President David Hogg visited Five Acres Community Garden and presented Manager, Charlote Iceton with a cheque towards their 'Fund a Fence' project.

Rotary was able to assist Great Aycliffe Cancer Care Group with the provision of a card reader for their newly opened hub.

Rotary Newton Aycliffe recently hosted a visit from volunteers of ManHealth.

At last, Rotary Newton Aycliffe’s very own group of Rotakids have been able to meet and discuss their plans for the future

During 2022, with the help of our County Councillors and funding from the Great Aycliffe and Middridge Partnership - GAMP, Rotary Newton Aycliffe bought a trailer, and it was a natural progression to then make the decision to have a new Santa Sleigh.
