The club has supported the Caring in Bristol Charity for some years and, once more, we have made a financial pledge to the charity’s involvement in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025. The aim is to raise significant funds to in tackling poverty and homelessness. Following a recent presentation from a representative of the Home Farm Trust Charity the club made a financial donation to help support adults with learning disabilities.
As we approach Remembrance Sunday on 9 November the club has made its traditional financial donation to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and look forward to participating in the parades in both Yate and Chipping Sodbury, laying wreaths at the respective war memorials.
Local well known resident Georgina Moore, aspiring to be selected in the sport of Boccia at the next Paralympic Games, kept up her high standard by winning a bronze medal at a recent Boccia event in Edinburgh staged by Scottish Disability Sport, involving prominent players from all four home nations. The club provided financial support to Georgina last year to assist with travel and accommodation costs, and a couple of members occasionally help at their club training.
Club members continue to support the Physionet charity’s efforts to provide surplus NHS equipment to countries in need, most latterly in moving all of the equipment to new premises in Cambridge, Gloucestershire.
We are keen to attract new members from all backgrounds. If you would like to know more about Rotary and the varied activities of our club, contact us at csrotaryapplication@gmail.com.
