Charities supported during the 2017-18 Rotary year

We have supported over 30 charities, projects and good causes this year. A great job well done!


Members of the Knighton and District Rotary Club feel it is important to present cheques, where possible, directly to the charities supported. To this end we arranged for many of our supported charities, plus local dignitaries, to meet us at the Reynolds Room, Knighton Community Centre for a formal cheque presentation. More details to follow shortly. 

These are the various charities and good causes we have supported this year.
