The Rotary Club of Perth has entered its 2nd century of assisting some of the most vulnerable in our local community.  Much has changed during that period in society and within our club, however our members still join Rotary to "give something back" following the Rotary motto "service above self".

It's a great honour to lead such a vibrant and successful club and our members have fantastic plans for the coming year.  We raise around £45,000 each year, the majority of which goes into our local community but we are also big supporters of End Polio Now, Shelterbox and Free to Live Trust, international charities.  Our next fundraising event is Perth Rotary Fayre on 25th August 2018 in King Edward Street, where we will assist up to 20 local "good causes" raise funds and awareness of their own organisations, whilst raising money with our own stalls.  If you want to find out more about Rotary, why don't you come down and see our members in action?

However, Rotary isn't just about fundraising... it's about getting 'hands on' and we have gardening and litter picking projects planned over the next few months.  We also have great fun and our members organise a wide range of social events, in particular I'm looking forward to the Go-Kart racing!

We meet at McDiarmid Park every week on Thursday lunchtimes and for breakfast every 3rd Tuesday at the Premier Inn, Mill Street, Perth.  We are delighted to welcome Rotarians and visitors to join us.
