Out and About during 2020

A Christmas Tree for Limpsfield Grange School (December 2020)

Ever keen to support the local community, Titsey Rotary Club has donated a ten-foot Christmas tree to Oxted’s Limpsfield Grange School. Normally the girls have a tree in the main entrance but this year that entrance is not in use, to avoid groups gathering, so a larger tree was needed for outdoors. Titsey Rotary Club stepped in to provide a suitable tree.

Creating storage space at Caterham Foodbank (October 2020)

The Caterham Food Bank, part of the Trussell Trust, has recently taken on a new warehouse, where the donated items can be sorted and stored. Stephen Bidwell, chair of trustees, says "The current pandemic has led to far greater demand for our services, so having more storage space is crucial. Foodbank distribution will continue to be from the current locations."

The warehouse fit-out has been supported by the four Rotary Clubs in Tandridge (Titsey & District, Oxted and Limpsfield, Caterham, and Caterham Harestone). The clubs both funded and assembled the equipment needed in the new location.  Roger Stent, project leader and member of Titsey Rotary, says "In many areas, Rotary clubs have helped their local foodbanks. We have been delighted to work together with this vital resource which supports the whole of Tandridge."

There are ongoing plans for this collaboration to assist distribution throughout the area.
