This committee provides the link with Rotary Internationals main charitable trust which primarily deals with projects having a global nature.

 A)   Bradford University Peace Studies

The District and Rotary International have been major supporters of the Bradford University Peace Studies Department.

The Club will continue to support the Peace Studies department by attending their functions and providing what support we can. The committee will arrange speakers to the Club from the Peace Scholars.

B)  Group Study Exchange

Whilst a member of the Club will not be involved in leading a GSE team we will be supporting any other Clubs in the District who will.

C)  Matching Grants  - District Grant

This year as last year we will assist the Chairman of Committees to apply for a local matching grant to support one of their causes.

D)  Rotary Foundation Direct Giving

In the previous year member  Gift Aided £23 in cash (Gross £28.75) towards our Foundation Funds. We expect a similar sum to be donated by members this year. 

E)  Polio Plus

As part of the $200million Polio Challenge Rotary International are seeking to raise $35 per member.  Although the polio programme has been very successful we are encouraged not to take our foot off the pedal otherwise there could be resurgent outbreaks of the disease.  Rotary needs to remain vigilant. This year our committee will continue its support for this initiative.
The committee will keep Council fully informed of the progress in meeting the above target.

F) Ambassadorial Scholars

The Club has taken on the responsibility of acting as host for Maciej Biesiada who is
applying for an Ambassadorial Scholarship (not to be confused with a Peace Scholar).  His application is due to be submitted before the end of July this year.

For the future Ambassadorial Scholarships will take on a different format and the Committee will advise the Council of the forthcoming changes.
