Rotary St Helens Honours Cyril Barratt with Paul Harris Fellowship
Paul Harris Award
The members of Rotary St Helens gathered to celebrate a special moment of recognition, presenting local accountant Cyril Barratt with a prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship in appreciation of his outstanding professional support and dedicated service to the club.
Recognising Service Above Self
For Rotary St Helens, the award was a heartfelt way to recognise Cyril’s long-standing contribution behind the scenes. Over many years, his accountancy expertise has helped the club maintain strong financial governance, transparency and sustainability—ensuring that fundraising efforts can continue to support local and international charitable projects.
A Trusted Professional and Community Supporter
Club members highlighted how Cyril’s advice and professional guidance have been instrumental in enabling Rotary St Helens to operate efficiently and confidently. His willingness to provide consistent support, often quietly and without expectation of recognition, has allowed volunteers to focus their time and energy on community impact.
During the presentation, Rotarians spoke warmly about Cyril’s integrity, reliability and generosity. The fellowship not only honours his professional contribution but also recognises the spirit of community service that aligns so strongly with Rotary values.
The award serves as a reminder that Rotary’s work relies not only on visible volunteering but also on the professional skills and dedication of supporters who help ensure the organisation’s long-term success.
Receiving a Paul Harris Fellowship is a significant milestone—and for Cyril Barratt, it marks a well-deserved recognition of years of steadfast support and quiet dedication.
