Community Service


Rotary is a service organisation and our Club's Community Service Comittee in conjunction with the Project Group aims to improve the quality of life within our local area and community. Our activities include promoting the welfare of people in the community, for example by providing assistance and support to those in need and improving our community environment. While raising funds is an important aspect, our Club members can most frequently be seen getting involved with community service projects.
