Latest News - President 2026/27

Our President for 2026/27 is Paul Rudge (left of photo), a recently retired Chartered Accountant who has worked in private practice in Redditch for many years. Paul is a relatively recent member of Rotary, and served as Treasurer in 2025/26.

The club follows the aims of Rotary through fellowship, and provides help and support to local community organisations on a rolling 3-year cycle.  In recent years, the Club has supported local charities including: St. Basils, Carers Careline, Batchley Support Group and Where Next?

Currently, we are supporting Redditch Community Shed: https://www.redditchcommunityshed.co.uk/

Our efforts to support international communities will be achieved through our continuing partnership with 'Tools With a Mission' (TWAM) which collects redundant tools and refurbishes them for use by communities across central Africa. https://www.twam.uk

Additionally, funds raised through ebay sales are being invested through Lend With Care, which supports entrepreneurs across the globe with micro-finance loans.

We will increase our engagement and collaboration with other local clubs, especially Redditch Kingfisher, as a way of increasing impact locally, and offering different models of membership for prospective Rotarians.
