The Kenilworth Rotary Club is to Close
The Rotary Club of Kenilworth is announcing, with profound sadness, that it will begin winding down its charitable activities.
For almost 70 years, Kenilworth Rotary has supported local organisations with funds raised largely through the Two Castles Run and, more recently, the Kenilworth Advent Calendar, raising several hundred thousand pounds over that time.
The Club has also been recognised for its charitable activities overseas, with a particular focus on polio eradication and child education.
In recent years, however, we have been unable to attract sufficient new members, resulting in an ageing and diminishing membership. This has compelled us to hand over our major income-generating projects to local organisations to ensure their continued success for the benefit of the community.
The Two Castles Run has been successfully taken over by Kenilworth Runners, while the Kenilworth Soroptimists have agreed to take on the Kenilworth Advent Calendar.
We are confident that, under their new management, these two events will continue to support local charities increasingly.
The Kenilworth Rotary Club will close in June 2027.
