Rotary in the wider world
Working for a better, fairer and more peaceful world
Polio Eradication, Ukraine and more
Although much of our work is within the local community, we are fully committed to Rotary International's aims in working towards a better, fairer and more peaceful world. To this end, we support both Rotary's worldwide initiatives, particularly polio eradication and the people of Ukraine, along with the work of small groups and individuals with whom we have established a more direct relationship.
