An exciting partnership with the Saltburn Primary School


What is RotaKids?

RotaKids is a fun and exciting way for children aged 7-12 to make friends and get involved with important activities in the community, all while having a great time in the process.

RotaKids clubs are based in schools, youth groups or community centres and with the help and support from teachers, youth leaders and the local Rotary club, children can gain a valuable experience in helping others and learning interesting, new things.

It also brings an exciting and practical approach to supporting the citizenship element of the national curriculum.

By doing so, children enjoy a boost to their confidence and self-esteem at a key age and develop  

What do RotaKids clubs do?

The great thing about RotaKids is that children can come up with ideas and see them become a reality.  The groups can do just about anything which springs to mind to help others and it shows children that by working together, there is so much that they can achieve. Examples of RotaKids activities include:

  • Filling shoeboxes with toys for underprivileged children around the world as part of the Rotary Shoebox Scheme
  • Raising money for charities in your area with a sponsored bike ride, non-uniform day, cake sale or school fun days
  • Supporting the environment by setting a nature project in the school playground or local community
  • Collecting books for children in countries around the world

Behind the sparkle of the festive season, thousands of children across the UK and Ireland live with the hidden impact of domestic abuse and family breakdown. For them, Christmas can be a time of fear and uncertainty rather than joy.

Saltburn Rotary is supporting this, to bring a Christmas toy box to all children in our local domestic abuse refuges.
