detailsAbout us
Northampton is a large market town in the East Midlands, approx. 67 miles Northwest of London on the River Nene, and is the county town of Northamptonshire.
The Rotary Club of Northampton was founded in 1921 and now meets for lunch on Mondays, when we have business and committee meetings, as well frequent speakers, usually related to our objective of
providing service to others, but sometimes of general interest.
Our Satellite Group members meet on Tuesday evenings when they have a similar programme of service projects and occasional speakers.
The two groups meet regularly for fellowship and joint fund-raising events. We raise funds for, and plan and implement service projects, both locally and internationally.
We welcome anyone who may be interested in joining us to see what we are all about at lunch on Mondays, or on Tuesday evenings with our Satellite Group.
This website is also full of stories about what we do, and if you have the time why not take a look at the drop down options in the "beefburger" menu above left, to see what we have done in the past and what we have planned for the the future?
SULAWESI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF
Three Rotary Clubs in Northampton combined on
Saturday 13 October to raise funds to send Shelterboxes to Indonesia following
the 7.5 magnitude earthquake and deadly tsunami that left at least 1,400 people
dead in Sulawesi Island. If you are not aware of the Shelterbox Charity
it delivers the essentials that families need to begin rebuilding their lives after
disaster.
Each disaster is different, and so is every community. Shelterbox doesn’t believe that one size fits all, so it spends time talking to affected families to make sure it provides the right support at the right time. A typical box is shown right. For some disaster-hit communities, the family-sized tents are the best solution until they are able to start rebuilding their homes. In other disasters, heavy duty tarpaulins, ropes and nails are needed to create emergency shelter or to patch-up damaged buildings.
Sometimes it even includes corrugated iron to make
resilient roofing, or mattresses to make warehouses habitable – whatever it
takes to help people recover from disaster. Shelterbox knows that a h
ome is
much more than bricks and mortar or tarpaulin and tent pegs. That’s why it also
offers other disaster relief items that are essential for survival, and can
help to turn a shelter into a home.
The three local Clubs were able to show the contents
of a typical Shelterbox on Saturday and are grateful to the members of the public
who contributed to helping the people of Sulawesi recover from the recent
disaster. On the left Rtns Alan Jukes and Jackie Brame and right, Aileen Stephens, ready with their buckets.
