 Malton and Norton Rotary Club

Serving the Community 

We are a small club that has been in existence since 1946 and calculate that in the last five years we have donated over £120,000 towards helping local and international charities.  (Some £48,000 alone was raised to help with the flood damage and loss of livestock in the North Yorkshire in 2007). 

We contribute towards mercy ships, an organisation that provides floating hospitals manned by volunteers around Africa.  An eye hospital in India, the Rotary campaign to end polio, disaster funds in Asia and Haiti and to rebuilding and stocking a school classroom in Sri Lanka destroyed in the Boxing Day tsunami of 20004 

This amount has been raised through the overwhelming generosity of the Yorkshire folk in our local community

What we do locally

Over the years we have planted some five tons of daffodil bulbs on the streets of  Malton and Norton and on many of the approach roads. We actively support local charities and run a Golf Day in Partnership with the Yorkshire Cancer charity.  The Fitzwilliam Estate kindly provide a vacant shop in the town centre and the ladies run a 'Posh Charity Shop' for two weeks. Last year their hard work raised some £4,500.00.  We have provided an  electric mobile scooter  for a disabled but very active young lad in Norton and every year   send two young people from the area on a RYLA Course.

Internationally we have replaced electricity switch boards and generator in a school in Zambia which provides power to pump water to the school from a dangerous river and also despatched football kit donated by local clubs to schools in the Lusaka area.

Our meetings have a speaker once or twice a month and the club also has an active social life with visits to concerts and a barbeque in the summer (if it manages to stop rainiing.

But what we need the most are new members, both male and female. If you think that you could help others and the society we live in why not give us a try. Contact John Howard, our hard working treasurer at <john.howard1@btinternet.com> or click on the contact button on this page.
