Community, Vocational and Youth

The Community, Vocational and Youth Committee supports our local community.  That can involve distributing funds or spending time to support events and initiatives in our local area.  Recent examples include:

·          Donations for food to Emmanuel House, The Friary and the Salvation Army.

·          £500 to the Rotary Life Education Centre.  Life Education Centre is a unique and inspirational health and drug prevention charity for primary school pupils. Using a high-tech mobile classroom and a specially trained educator, it aims to teach children how amazing their bodies are and how drugs can affect them. It also aims to provide the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to enable them to make healthy choices, particularly about what to put in their bodies.

·          Donations to the Stonebridge City Farm, which provides a safe and educational rural space in an urban setting.  150 volunteers work  on site each week, many of whom have a mental health challenge or a learning disability.

·          ECO Greenhouse Gotham Primary School.  The club helped the children to collect hundreds of 2 litre used drinks bottles and upcycle them into a greenhouse that can be used to grow food.
