The Rotary Club of Halifax was formed in 1922 when it was the 60th club to be formed in the UK.  From these early days the club has been at the centre of supporting local, national and international programmes that range from clearing litter from local beauty spots, planting flower beds to enhance the appearance of the town; supporting local young people in developing their leadership abilities and showcasing their talents in music, technology and culinary skills; joining with other clubs around the world to provide clean water and effective sanitation, medical care and education programmes.
