Rotary Scotland South Charity for Hope

Welcome to Rotary Scotland South Charity for Hope

Turning Compassion into Action

Rotary Scotland South Charity for Hope is the charitable arm of Rotary Scotland South (District 1320). Established in December 2023, our purpose is simple: to help Rotarians transform ideas into meaningful action that changes lives in communities across Scotland and around the world.

As a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), Scottish Charity Number: SC053029

We provide a trusted framework through which Rotary clubs, members and partners can develop, support and deliver projects that make a lasting difference.

Working Together for Greater Impact

Our charity exists to support the clubs and members of Rotary Scotland South by helping them plan, organise and deliver projects that reflect Rotary Areas of Focus. We also encourage collaboration with other charities, community organisations, businesses and individuals who share our commitment to creating stronger, healthier and more sustainable communities.

Whether a project is local or international, we aim to make it easier for people to work together, attract support and maximise the impact of every contribution.

Our Areas of Focus

We support projects that:

• Promote peace and understanding.
• Prevent and fight disease.
• Provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene.
• Save mothers and children.
• Support education.
• Grow local economies and reduce poverty.
• Protect and improve the environment.

These priorities reflect Rotary's long-standing commitment to service above self and to creating positive, sustainable change.

• Develop and deliver charitable projects.
• Receive and manage charitable funds responsibly.
• Build partnerships with charities, businesses and community organisations.
