Rotarians gave a talk to the children at Manorbrook School on the value of Shelterboxes following a natural disaster and which clearly registered with them. They decided to produce drawings to sell and raised a magnificent £227. The Club has "topped up" the figure to purchase a Shelterbox in their name. Our picture shows Vice President Phil Savage receiving their donation.To find out more about the Shelterbox Scheme please click here
End Polio Now
Since 1985, Rotarians worldwide have provided help to the World Health Organisation & Unicef in a concerted effort to eradicate this crippling disease which principally affects children under 5 years old.
At that time Polio was endemic in 25 countries and this has been reduced now to just 4. Rotary Clubs contribution has been with substantial fund raising and in organising Mass Immunisation Days.
We are committed to seeing this project completed so if you see us out with our Collecting Buckets please give generously to this very worthwhile cause.
