The 2023 Awards Event

Club members please log in for more information.

Funds from the Kenilworth Advent Calendar awarded to local charities.

Over 50 people gathered at the Senior Citizens’ Club last Friday,9th February,to support Rotary’s President, David Morgan, as he handed cheques to five of Kenilworth’s leading causes. The ceremony concluded the 2023 Advent Calendar project which raised over £15000 by selling over 3300 Calendars.

THe recipients of the major awards

Charities receiving funds from the Kenilworth Advent Calendar (from l to r) The Waverley Centre, (Anne Cross), Myton Hospice (Lou Careless), The Kenilworth Centre (Becky Webb and Sarah Jane Rose), Compassionate Kenilworth (Helen Braithwaite and Pauline Haywood) and Talisman Theatre (Keri McCann).

The bad news is that only 72 out of the 120 prizes have been claimed. While the official closing date was 29 February, we’re disappointed by the low uptake. So, we’ll entertain later claims. Calendar holders can still find the winning numbers on the website kenilworthadventcalendar@kenilworthrotary.org.uk and we’ll deliver the prize to your door.

This has been a real community effort with local businesses sponsoring the costs and donating prizes and services while local volunteers have been out on the streets selling the product to help fund local Kenilworth causes. We’re proud of our town!

The good news is that planning for the Kenilworth Advent Calendar for 2024 is just about to begin. We have a new project leader in Rotarian Steve Krikler, who will lead a team of Rotarians and non-Rotarians to produce an even better product to support the needs of Kenilworth.
