Welcome to Chestfield Rotary
Hello,
As we start a new Rotary year – 2026/27 on 1st July 2026, it is my privilege to become President of Chestfield Rotary.
After another fantastic year fund raising, it is my aim to continue to raise as much money for local charities as possible.
I have decided this year to support two very local charities. The first is Demelza Hospice Care For Children, who provide extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life limiting conditions. The second is Guardian Angels Dog Rescue, who provide a safe haven for rescued dogs and find them their forever homes.
Throughout the year we have several fundraising events (Golf Day, Quiz Night etc) that raise monies for these charities as well as money to fund charitable projects both in the UK and internationally.
At Christmas we will once again be doing our Santa’s Sleigh Xmas Food collection around Chestfield – this year on 6th Dec – and food donated will go to Canterbury Food Bank, and clothing etc to Catching Lives.
We will also be carrying out other social events, such as Ten Pin Bowling, Brogdale Cream Tea and many more, so if any of this interests you, why not pop along and see what we do.
Kind Regards
Pete Thomson
President 2026/27
