Regular Projects and Events

Each year 6 Schools in the Brighouse area award Rotary prizes to pupils who have contributed to the community.

Each pupil receives a trophy to keep for a year and a gift voucher provided by the club.

The current president has the honor of attending the school prizegiving evening to award the trophy.

Each year in late October work gets underway to distribute poppies and collecting tins to shops and schools in the Brighouse area to support the British Legion Poppy Appeal.

On Rememberance day the President attends and we donate to provide a wreath for the cenotaph.

Every year in December, we join forces with 3 other local fund raising groups and take the Santa Sleigh round the streets of different areas of Brighouse.

Well supported by all residents of these areas this raises funds which are ring-fenced for local deserving causes in the Brighouse area.

At the start of December we take the time to visit the rest centre in the middle of Brighouse and put up all the Christmas Decorations and if needs be buy some replacements. This is greeted by the volounteers as "the start of Christmas"!

A few weeks into December, we take over the running of the rest centre and provide free tea, coffee and mince pies to anyone calling in. (The mince pies are kindly donated by Tesco)

Also at the start of December sees the dedication of the annual "Tree of Lights" at Sainsburys.

To remember a loved one at Christmas people "buy" a light and all proceeds go towards that years announced charity or worthy cause.

We provide the Christmas tree and Lights and Sainburys provide the power and collect donations. 

Thanks Sainsburys
