Brief description: Report on Service given and Charitable giving in Rotary Year 2022/23
Rotary Club of Bradford
Report on the work of the Club in Rotary Year 2022/23
An account of the community service given and money distributed to charities by the 25 members of the Rotary Club of Bradford during the Rotary year 2022/23 (1st July to 30th June inclusive).
Despite a membership decline in recent years due to the incapacity or death of long serving active members and some members unable to engage with Club activities due to other commitments, a central core of under half the membership has had a very worthwhile year, as is reflected below.
In total the club raised over £13,100 from public events, successful grant applications, other internal club fundraising and members donations. Two thirds of money raised came from events open to non-members and/or the general public. Using the funds we raised we have actually dispersed over £11,900 of which over 61% went to Bradford charities. (NB. Our audited accounts are published later.)
