Join Rotary and make a world of difference to your own community, to the lives of those less fortunate around the world, to your fellow club members - like-minded men and women of all ages - and, just as important, to yourself! The projects Rotarians get involved in are incredibly fulfilling, worthwhile and rewarding - and there's plenty of fun.
Lend with Care
In the past four years The Rotary Club of Nantwich has supported 1,521 entrepreneurs, created 381 jobs and helped 5,200 family members in some of the poorest parts of the world. They have managed this through Lendwithcare, a revolutionary way to help some of the world’s poorest people work their way out of poverty with dignity.
“Lendwithcare allows organisations or individuals to lend as little as £15 to fund a small business, and once the money is repaid, investors can choose to recycle their loan to support another poor entrepreneur, or to withdraw the money. The Rotary Club of Nantwich and individual members have invested £2,900. This has been re-invested as entrepreneurs repay their loans and £6,665 has been invested in total over the past four years making 118 loans, 100% of which goes to the entrepreneur. The difference we can make to thousands of desperately poor people for a relatively small investment is amazing!”
“ This is an example of an entrepreneur group we’ve supported is in Zambia:
“Nyangu Sakala runs a very interesting business, grinding maize into flour and sunflower seeds into oil. With the help of her Lendwithcare loans Nyangu has managed to purchase four grinding mills – two for the flour and two for the oil. She keeps one of each in a garage next to her home where people visit either have their maize ground, or to purchase the maize flour or oil already processed. Nyangu now employs six people to help in her business and she and her husband also have a small shop where they sell the oil they press. She charges 15 kwacha (just over £1) to press 50kg of sunflower seeds and 13 kwacha (about £1) for 50kg of maize! Not only have the loans have been very useful in helping her business to grow, but with the profits she has been able to send her children to school and cover all of their household expenses. Nyangu has four children but she looks after a total of 9 people, including two orphans and her younger sister.”
The Rotary Club of Nantwich continues to raise funds to support good causes both very close to home, and in very remote corners of the world. New members to our club are always made most welc

Primary School Art & Handwriting Competition!
Edward Timpson presents £850 worth of prizes on May 13
For the first time ever, all 14 of the Nantwich Primary Schools participated in the Rotary Club of Nantwich Primary School Art and Handwriting Competition. For the fourth year running, Edward Timpson presented the prizes, worth £850, in the Nantwich Museum on May 13 at 11.00 a.m
The Judges for the competition - local artist and architect Martin Greenwood and Brine Leas School art teacher, Claire Somerville, had the difficult job of choosing the individual winners. Due to last year’s amazing response, the handwriting competition was run again and judged by Frances Passmore
The theme for the competition was simply “The Great British Countryside”.
Building on the success of previous years, the format was as follows:
- Art and handwriting entries will be judged in two groups: Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2
- Four prizes of £50 each in the form of gift vouchers plus ‘gold’ medals were awarded to the children entering the item of artwork and the item of handwriting judged to be the best in each Key Stage group
- Sixteen prizes of £25 in the form of gift vouchers plus ‘silver’ medals were awarded to the children judged to be runners up for artwork and handwriting in each Key Stage group
To reflect the importance of Nantwich Rotary Club’s commitment to the development of art and good handwriting in our local schools, a further £250 prize and trophy was also awarded to the school judged to have the highest overall standard of entries. The money will be used to further enhance the school’s facilities.
We would like to thank our generous sponsors - the William Hodgkin Trust, Morrisons (Nantwich) and Nantwich Hearing Centre.
Many of the works of art will be displayed in the Nantwich Museum from May 10th to 27th.
