What a year!

In a world turned upside-down by COVID it is no surprise that in the Rotary year just coming to an end (30^th June 2021) Llandudno Rotary has had to change its ways

Face-to-face meetings have not been possible since March 2020, but despite this the Club has accomplished much

·        - Establishment of a network of 8  food collection points in and around Llandudno and weekly collection and delivery of the food to the local charity and food bank “Hope Restored”

·        - More than £3,000 donated in cash from residents via this network and then handed on to “Hope Restored”

·      -   £1,400 raised by a Member seeking sponsorship for his “Pier to Pier” walk, of which £700 went to “Hope Restored”(see above)

·        -  The other £700 was matched by a Rotary District Grant enabling the Club to donate, via Sea Point Rotary (South Africa) £1,400 to the food charity “Helping Hands”. This was used to provide 10,500 meals to alleviate hunger

·        - Continued support in the form of a donation of £250 to the  Ilitha pre-school in Cape Town

·      -   £250 donated to Ty Gobaith Children’s Hospice, representing proceeds of an Easter Bunny street collection plus an addition from Club funds

·      -   £1,000 donated to 5 local charities in the first tranche of our Community Chest programme

·       -  Regular weekly meetings via Zoom, with speakers from 3 continents

Sadly, we lost two valued Members in the year (Mike Clutton and David Thomas); we were pleased to welcome three new Members
