Help Save Our Environment and Raise Money by Recycling!

We are raising funds for safe water/sanitation programmes by recycling old mobile phones, inkjet cartridges and laser/toner cartridges. See LIST for  wanted items. Simply hand items that have a LIST value and/or cellphones to any Buxton Rotarian, or drop them into the Buckingham HotelPotters of Buxton, or the box in Buxton Methodist Church. You can also support our Club Charitable Trust by no-cost Internet browsing.

We also support Kidscan supporting children with cancer, clicking Kidscan will take you to the home page where you can find a list of events and further information. If you would like to help us fund-raise for charity, click on See How You Can Fund Our Club's Charitable Trust At No Cost To You!
