The Role of the Community Services Committee


Chair Mike Jones
Denzil Ellis, Stuart Phillips, Wagih El Masri, Mike Griffiths and Tony Ridge


Community Services Committee

We are anxious to listen to any request for help from any local group with a particular need.

At the invitation of TNS, we carry out car park marshalling and stewarding including organising raffle events at the Club's Champions League qualifiers over the summer,

We carry out a Street and Supermarket exit collection in October in Oswestry with recent beneficiaries including :-

Friends of Parkies

Orthopaedic Veterans

Dementia Action Alliance and other Rotary charities..

Our Rotarians assist on the entrance to the Grandstand at the Oswestry Show in August.

In the unfortunate possibility of a serious local disaster our Rotarians volunteer to co-ordinate help to relatives and friends of those involved, should the local professional services be unable to cope. This is a Rotary inspired initiative called "Reaction".

The 2 bench seats up on the Old Racecourse are maintained by this committee.

"My aim is for Rotary to be seen and active within this community - firstly we have to build up our financial reserves to finance those who may need help and support.

We have so far this year raised well over £600 supporting the Oswestry Community Games and two TNS football matches and again at the annual Oswestry Show -  Rotary will be seen supporting the community."
