We try to give as much 'hands-on' help that we can locally. If we donate money abroad we always try to do so through a local Rotary club or through contacts made by individual Rotarians so that none of our money is 'siphoned off' inappropriately.
We use some funds to run local activities for certain sectors of the community. For example we run a New Year party and a summer outing for senior citizens from Chislehurst. We also support some local children's projects and organise presents at Christmas and an outing to the pantomime. The children and their teachers tell us that these treats are special and would not normally be within family budgets.
We also allocate funds to local good causes, some national charities and reserve about 20% of funds for things like international disasters. We scrutinise all applications carefully before allocating any funds.
