International

As part of an international organisation, Leominster Rotary also supports international fund raising. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THESE FUNDS ARE NOT COLLECTED FROM LEOMINSTER CHARITY COLLECTIONS AS ALL FUNDS RAISED LOCALLY IS SPENT LOCALLY. 

Leominster Rotary uses its own funds, member donated or from specific events, and have supported the following organisations in recent years:

• Ripple Effect - (was Send a Cow) - charity helping families become self sufficient in Africa
• Shelterbox - replenishing supplies used in various disasters around the world e.g. Jamaica hurricane or earthquakes
• Nepal Hospice - helping build and equip a hospice in Nepal

Whilst Leominster Rotary have no formal twinning arrangements with clubs abroad, there is a very strong connection with Sea Point Rotary Club in Cape Town via one of our members. This has led to some very interesting exchanges of ideas and assistance.

The twinning with the Rotary Club of La Fleche sadly came to an end in 2019, having been in place since 1978. These were a great success and there were annual visits alternating between Leominster visiting La Fleche or La Fleche visiting Leominster.
