Barnard Castle Interact Clubs
An Interact Club is a Rotary organisation for young people which is run by the young people themselves with support from the local Rotary Club. At both Teesdale School, and, since 2018 - Barnard Castle school, it is run by the students with Sixth form students taking the roles of the principal officers.
The specific activities where the Clubs have made a difference include:
- Supporting local community projects including the Barnard Castle food bank and filled Rotary shoe boxes for young people in need.
- Raising money for education in Peru to help the children who need basic books and learning.
- Raising money for the Alzheimers Society ( a total of £875 in 6 months).

A shelterbox is a piece of first response kit used in many many disasters over the last twenty years or so.
Each Box is equipped with vital emergency equipment, including: a ten man tent, a stove, cooking utensils, blankets, water purification equipment, tools and even a few toys for the very young children.
Shelterbox is one of the major Rotary programmes that Barnard Castle Rotary Club supports as part of its International programme.
