WORKING TOGETHER TO DEFEAT POLIO 

In November 2017 Stewart Atkin, District Governor Elect, presented a Rotary International Certificate to the Club in appreciation of our financial support for the "End Polio Now: Make History Today Campaign." We are one of the few clubs to receive this honour described on the certificate as "fulfilling our promise to the children of the world to eradicate polio."  

In October 2021 our Immediate Past President was Geoff. He is a survivor of childhood Polio and a long term advocate of Polio Charities. His Rotarian friends in Houghton le Spring sponsored him to paint his legs purple to raise money for World Polio.
