Rotary Club of Buxton and Dragon Boats

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (keep safe )

Some of this year's achievements

Big Dog Parker's owner, Elizabeth, has loaned him to the Rotary Club of Buxton to help children. Polio is still crippling under-5s so he's fundraising for Rotary's 'End Polio Now' campaign, by visiting Buxton firms, and inviting their staff to help.

100 boxes of Christmas biscuits were shared with local charities. Thanks to Morrisons for their generous discount and community support. For each box we bought, Morrisons donated one to support communities around the area.

Awarded for the environment project on home insulation and reducing energy consumption.

Rotary, in collaboration with other local organisations, is helping people to improve their home energy usage. We have received a Rotary District Grant and are supported by the High Peak Borough Council Community Climate and Nature Action Fund.

Now that the vaccination programme has started we are planning activities (Covid-safe) for later this year. We are helping with traffic control at the Buxton Medical vaccination hub.

High Peak Baby Bank "gobsmacked" as donations reach £3000.

Primary school children need to be able to work online but many don't have a computer/tablet. With a District Contingency Fund Grant we have donated £1000 to Buxton Infants and Fairfield Infants for computers.

We are in the process of becoming a "Climate Clever" Rotary Club. We have achieved level one "Inspire" and are now working on achieving the next level - "Investigate".
