During our 50+ year history, Torrington Rotary has supported our young in various ways...

*  Rotary Competitions such as Young Chef, Young Photographer, Young Musician etc.

*  Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)  is a week-long residential course led by professional trainers to help youngsters develop leadership skills through various outdoor activities  PHOTO -  Rees Parkhouse, our RYLA 2023 recipient, gets his certificate from Andy Hill.

* Through donations from our Charitable account to various organisations, such as   Children's Hospice Southwest,  Share Music Southwest,  the Calvert Trust,  Children's Holiday Foundation and Appledore Book Festival, to name just a few. 

* Through various co-operative projects with local groups and organisations such as The Plough and in our local schools.
