The Rotary Club raises and distributes monies throughout the year. Our two main fund raising efforts are the Christmas Sleigh Appeal and the Duck Race. We also undertake many smaller events to raise funds.
The total amount of monies raised, distributed and spent this year is £19,352.00.
President Mike and all the members would like to thank everybody who has contributed to our events to make it possible for us to help so many wonderful causes.
