Community and Vocational activities seek opportunities whereby
Rotarians are actively involved, fostering good relations, and developing
networking opportunities. We assist the vulnerable, socially marginalised and
those with medical needs, in order to enhance the quality of people's lives,
across all ages.
We also assist with educational activities with school age
pupils, such as hearing readers, help with literacy skills and the gifting of
dictionaries. The organising of an outing for physically disabled pupils in
connection with Kids Days Out fosters confidence building. Fun
activities in conjunction with Norfolk Young Carers provides freedom
from caring responsibilities, and aiding safety awareness for Year 6 pupils is
achieved through Crucial Crew days.
In the past year, we have supported Time Norfolk,
participated in the Christmas Tree Festival at St Peter Mancroft Church,
worked with The Salvation Army to provide Christmas hampers, toys, and vouchers
for local families, and supported the visitor’s centre at HMP Norwich Prison.
Each year we facilitate the opportunity for attendance at the Rotary
Youth Leadership Award scheme and put a spotlight on local people who show
Service above Self through the President’s Certificate of Recognition.
We have a great deal of fun and fellowship through quiz nights,
frugal suppers, by donating to foodbanks. We try to make a difference, if you
would like to join us, or sample Rotary for yourself, please contact Paul
Robinson.
