About us

About us

We are people of action. Here in Dunfermline and around the world, people have been fed, clothed, housed, immunised, treated, comforted, rescued or given clean water with help from Carnegie Dunfermline Rotary Club.

Stuff we do helps to improve people’s lives from right here in Dunfermline to the war-ravaged towns of Ukraine and the remote villages of Africa. For example, we’re part of the global End Polio Now campaign. In the process we meet new friends, make useful contacts - and have a lot of fun!

If that sounds like something you’d like to get involved in, who not join us? We’re a small, friendly club of people of action, and we welcome new members over the age of 18 from every background.

We’re always raising money in various (mostly fun!) ways which we pass on to well run local, national and international charities doing the stuff mentioned above.

We also give our time and skills for the same purposes. Current examples are pulling on our wellies to help develop and maintain a local community garden in a local area, and clearing polluting nurdles and other litter from local beaches. We pitch in and lend a hand to other organisations’ efforts, an example being the Lyne Burn Restoration Project.

We run events to help develop young, local talent, such as Young Writer, Musician, Photographer, Artist and Environmentalist competitions, as well as a primary schools’ quiz competition.

And we mentor an Interact Club at St Columba’s High School, which is like Rotary for teenagers. 

Come and meet us

Why not come along to some of our meetings and events to find out more and get a feel for whether Rotary membership might be for you? 

We meet once a week, on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:45pm. We meet by video link on the first Tuesday of the month. Twice a month we meet in the

St Margaret's Parish Church, Abel Place, Dunfermline KY11 4JJ

And once a month we meet socially or to work on one of our projects.

At our meetings we eat cake, discuss club business and plan events, and about once a month we enjoy a visiting speaker. The speakers are invariably inspirational people of action who also work to improve the lives of people in need and make the world a better place.

When there’s a fifth Tuesday in the month we might go out for a meal, go for a walk, or hold some other social event.

The organisational stuff

The Rotary Club of Carnegie Dunfermline (to give it its posh name just once) is a member of the worldwide family of Rotary service clubs. Chartered in 2003, we’re one of five Rotary clubs in West Fife, and more than 80 in Rotary District 1010, which covers North Scotland. District 1010 is in turn part of Rotary Great Britain & Ireland (RGBI), which is part of Rotary International.

Finally, did we mention that we welcome new members? Interested? Then you’ll probably want to know what it costs:

·       In cash, it’s £14.50 a month membership subscription; and

·       In time, it’s whatever you can give – every contribution is valued, however small!
