Sylvia Keris - Rotary International in GB & I Champions of Change award
Sylvia Keris is honoured by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland Champions of Change award June 2021
For the past two years, Sylvia has championed the cause of the Buddy Bags Foundation, which supplies essential items for the immediate wellbeing of children who find themselves in emergency care following a traumatic incident.
In 2019 she embarked on a Birmingham to London canal walk, and through publicity for the Rotary Clubs she met along the way inspired widespread support for the charity’s appeal for knitted teddy bears. So far more than 3,500 knitted teddies have been collected, with the figure increasing daily.
Her walk also raised £3,100, split between Buddy Bags and Rotary’s End Polio campaign, while a novel costumed activity in December 2020 achieved a further £552 in donations.
