About us

WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF
 LEIGH ON SEA ROTARY

History of Leigh.

Leigh has a long history as a settlement dependant on the sea, Its records are said to go back 1248, and since that time has seen changes from a major port on the River Thames to what is now a small but thriving fishing port noted for its cockles and shrimps.

History of the Rotary Club of Leigh on Sea.

We were chartered on the 15th December 1953, and since those days we would like to think we have grown with the times. Our present membership is around 30 men and women.  Should you wish to visit us whether you are already a Rotarian, or interested in the work of Rotary you will be made most welcome. If you wish to attend one of our meetings please contact plstepney@gmail.com

                                         ********************************

We have almost completed our project involving the provision and installation of a number of defibrulators from Leigh to Thorpe Bay and with the support of The Carli Lansley Foundation and the Rotary Club of Thorpe Bay this has been an excellent community project.  

We have raised funds through the annual Great Pier Walk and a number of other initiatives.

We regularly run an afternoon tea for older people in the area.

These are some of the causes we continue to support or have managed to help in the past.

Help in the building of an eye hospital in Vyrurry India, where today many people are having their sight restored.

Donations to: Southend Hospital Charity, Havens Hospices, Cancer Research, Southend In Sight, Shields, Polio Plus, Trade Aid, Marys Meals, Aquabox, Shelterbox, Mercy Ships and many more local  and International charities.
