If you want to find out more about Rotary, you've come to the right place. People sometimes think Rotary is just for older men. Wrong! We're a club of diverse, active and friendly men and women, of a variety of ages, who normally get together in the heart of Chichester. However in the current Covid 19 pandemic we're meeting via Zoom.
If you're interested in volunteering to work with us, or would like to ask for our support, use the "contact us" link at the top, and we'll get in touch!
Please look around the site to find out more about what we do. We are a part of Rotary International, which is the world's largest service organisation for business and professional people.
