The Rotary Club of Brighton has raised several million £s in today’s money since it was founded on 8th April 1913, about two thirds of which has been donated to local charities, the remainder being donated to Rotary International worldwide charitable projects, e.g. the decades long campaign to eliminate polio, which was in its final stages with just 2 countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, where this dreadful disease was still endemic.  However, the conflicts in Gaza and Darfur have resulted in new cases being reported in Gaza and Chad where refugees have fled from Darfur.  We need to redouble our efforts to deal with this.  Please help us to do this by donating to our Charitable Trust as described below.
