Rotary Children's Fun Day

Rotary Children's Fun Day provides positive experiences for some of the UK's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

The programme is organised by Rotary clubs across the country. It is supported by Kids in Mind, a children's charity that offers mental health and wellbeing support for children escaping domestic violence.

For more than three decades, Rotary has been giving disabled and disadvantaged young people the chance to enjoy new experiences, taste adventure and have fun trips and days out.

More than 1 million children have enjoyed a break from the ordinary in a range of ways.

• Exciting activities within school settings
• A taste of the arts with theatre visits
• Trips out to theme parks, activity centres, zoos, seaside resorts and more

All of this is made possible thanks to Rotary clubs, who help to organise and fund activities, with many Rotary members also volunteering a helping hand.

It brings fun into the lives of children who often have come from difficult backgrounds, escaped domestic violence, or are disadvantaged in a number of ways.

For 2025, Rotary is planning to give at least another 30,000 children that special experience.

Locally, five clubs: Dumfries, Dumfries Devorgilla, Annan & District, Lockerbie & District and Thornhill & District work together to organise and fund a Summer and a Christmas event every year…

In 2025 these events will be in June and December…

• On Monday 9th June, a Rotary Children’s Fun Day for Primary and Secondary pupils in supported learning in our area, at The S.R.U.C Barony Campus
• The Rotary Children’s Christmas Party will be held over two days for the first time this year.                                  At The Cairndale Hotel, the Primary pupils party will on Monday 1st December and the Secondary pupils party will be on Tuesday 2nd December.
