Santa Sleigh Outings



Within local communities, Rotary clubs carry out a range of different activities and projects with the aim of improving quality of life.

All community service is an opportunity to raise awareness of our Rotary Club and the wider work of Rotary.

At Esk Valley, we are perhaps most visible when we go round local estates and outlying villages at Christmas time helping Santa on his sleigh. We also give Santa a helping hand to switch on the Dalkeith Christmas lights! For the last few years, any money donated has been given to Midlothian Groups which help young people in the area.  At Christmas we also donate food and toys to families who would not otherwise have a very merry Christmas. 

For the last few years we been the area administrators for Poppy Scotland, distributing collecting cans and collecting in local supermarkets, something which members found very moving and worthwhile.

In July we help at the gate at the Dalkeith Agricultural Show. We have a good relationship with Newbattle golf club and we sponsor a tee.

We sponsor a long service to volunteering award every year at the Volunteer Awards ceremony held at Newbattle Abbey College in conjunction with Volunteer Midlothian.
