Community Services

The aim of this Committee is to identify and fulfill the needs of the Rotary Club's community, utilising in full, the skills, talents and vocations of the Club's membership. Priority should be given to the ideal of service within the community, acknowledging that, as a provider of funding, Rotary is merely one of many, but as a provider of service it is without peer!

Rotary Foundation

The object of the Rotary Foundation is the achievement of World Understanding and Peace through International charitable and educational programmes. These include Group Study Exchange Visits, Matching Grants, the Health, Hunger and Humanity Grants, Polio Plus, and Ambassadorial Scholarships. The Rotary Foundation is dependent entirely on voluntary donations, the majority of which come directly from Rotarians.

International Services

There is an almost unlimited demand for Rotary involvement to eradicate ill health, malnutrition and deprivation in other parts of the world. This is provided by service and funds. Current projects are listed in the Project Library. Both social (eg Twinning) and formal (eg GSE) contacts provide excellent opportunities to set up joint ventures, helping us to fulfill our object of World Understanding and Peace.

Youth Services

The major responsibilities of this Committee cover the Youth Exchange Programme, including school year exchanges, camps, tours, handicamps, youth exchanges, Interact and the achievements of young people generally through various projects.
