A STRONG HISTORY BUT READY FOR THE FUTURE

It started with an idea - a notion. In early 1919 some businessmen got together and agreed they wanted to offer service above self to the Swansea community via a relatively new idea called Rotary. Swansea Rotary Club was chartered that November and continues to this day, albeit in a more modern format.

Some of our more recent highlights include a "Steps for Ukraine" Go Fund Me campaign and running "crazy games" in local primary schools. Over the past two winters we collected over 2000 warm coats to be distributed to individuals or families in crisis. With our friends Rotary Mumbles and Rotary Morriston (The Swansea Rotary Partnership) we commissioned a trolley to transport surfboards for Surfability in Caswell, Swansea.

We stay in touch for business and projects via WhatsApp and meet for a social evening every fourth Wednesday. We also have a monthly planning meeting every second Wednesday via Zoom and a Coffee with Rotary every first Friday in the BookshopCoffeeLounge in St Peter's Hall, Newton, Swansea.  

We support a number of charities, community organisations and local school projects which we pay for by organising fund-raising events such as race nights, fashion shows, curry evenings, musical evenings and bucket collections. We are particularly looking for new fundraising ideas.

If you would like to know more about how you can make new friends while giving back to the community, contact us.  We welcome new members and would be delighted for you to join us as a guest at our next social meeting. Maybe you are a small business, community organisation or educational establishment and would like to know more about corporate membership.
