Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Locks Heath
Locks Heath Rotary Club meet at the Holiday Inn, Cartwright Drive, Fareham, 1st and 3rd Tuesdays in the month at 6.45 for 7.00pm, and on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays in the month at 12.30 for 12.45 The Club, which was founded in 1972, currently has 23 members. Most weeks the Club has an interesting speaker, details can be found under 'Meetings'.
The Club organises a number of fund raising events during the year, such as Burns Night, an International Evening, and a Hog Roast, as well as events such as a Summer Party for a group of elderly members of the local community. Our major fund raising event is a Christmas collection at local Superstores.
We also take part in local events including Warsash Strawberry Fair, and 'Kids Out', and annually organise an evening music competition for local schools. The Club sponsors the Lord Wilson School at Coldeast.
Most of the money raised during the year goes to local community projects, including Communicare, local Scouts, Mayor's Charities, and Air Ambulance etc. Some goes to help with Rotary International humanitarian charities, such as aquaboxes or shelterboxes, which provide safe drinking water or temporary shelter and other essentials for families after disaster such as earthquakes, flood or tsunami.
Vocational visits are arranged for the members, these have recently included informative visits to Hampshire Fire and Rescue HQ, Southampton University Oceanographic Centre, VT Shipbuilders at Portsmouth Dockyard, and even included a trip to Krakow, often combined with visits to oher Clubs. Above all the intention of the members is to have fun whilst taking an interest in our local and worldwide community and helping where we can.
