One Month into our new Rotary year and the club has been very busy.

1) The club held it's first social event of the year by holding a BBQ at East Luccombe Farm on Saturday the 23rd July. The event was well attended with several guests invited.  After deductions of costs the club were able to allocate £175 towards the President's chosen charity. Somerset Childrens Hospice. 

2)  The 2nd of our monthly food donations were delivered to the West Somerset Food Cupboard to help those most in need locally.  These donations will continue throughout the year.  Anyone wishing to help with these donations should contact the club

3) Over £6,000 in District Grants have been applied for from the Ukraine Disaster Response Fund and 16 Ukrainian families, being hosted locally, will receive up to £500 per family to help them settle in to West Somerset.  We have invited one of the hosts and a member of a refugee family to come along to a meeting to describe how they had to leave Ukraine with nothing.

4) The Vaccination Centre in Minehead is now holding Tuesday sessions only.  A number of Rotarians are still helping out at these sessions

5) Our Youth Service organiser, Mollie Foster, is holding meetings with Minehead Young Careers to see if we can give them some relief from their responsibilities, looking after their family members.
