Rotary / ShelterBox Partnership

A year has passed since ShelterBox became Rotary International's first project partner.
This agreement enables both organisations to collaborate more closely to bring relief and temporary shelter to survivors of disasters worldwide. The project partnership builds on both our strengths in responding to disasters all over the world. Throughout 2012, and going into 2013, the benefits of this partnership have presented themselves time and time again:

Launch of 2012/13 PR Campaign
In part thanks to a Rotary International PR Grant, the district has launched a new publicity campaign utilising buses in Plymouth and Cornwall. The Plymouth City Bus campaign will run for 6 months whilst the Western Greyhound campaign in Cornwall will run for 12 months. It is hoped that as well as promoting Rotary's efforts to end Polio, we will increase awareness of Rotary and get some membership enquiries.
