The Rotary Club of Bury St Edmunds meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evenings of the month.

Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Bury St Edmunds.

Bury St Edmunds has two Rotary clubs: the Rotary Club of Bury St Edmunds and the Rotary Club of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. 

The Rotary Club of Bury St Edmunds celebrated its 85th Charter Anniversary in 2024. 

Our Club meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. We have 14 members with an average attendance at weekly meetings of around 10-12.  We enjoy fellowship, serve the local community, raise money for good causes, and establish lasting friendships. We are an active club, one whose ambitions exceed our resources at present. Most of our members are in active retirement and keen to put their skills to further use. 

Visiting Rotarians are always welcome and we seek new members. Please let us know by the preceding Thursday evening using the contact link at the top of this page so that we can arrange a meal for you.

Every Club member belongs to a committee. 

Our Community Involvement committee meets regularly throughout the year to consider our role in the Community, requests for funding assistance received from local charities and other worthwhile causes. Our work with local Secondary Schools includes an annual public-speaking competitions (Years 9 and 12) and our Service above Self Awards held at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. As part of the Rotary Dictionaries 4 Life project we gave dictionaries to 80 pupils in two of our local primary schools.

Our International committee responds to requests for immediate help after natural disasters and supports on-going projects such as lendwithcare. Our 'pandemic' project led to Bury St Edmunds becoming a Toilet-Twinned Town. 

Our Fundraising and Grants committee focuses on means open to us for raising funds for charitable causes through organising events and securing grants.
