About us
Welcome to the Web Page of
The Rotary Club of Mawddach
An Evening Rotary Club meeting in Dolgellau & Barmouth. 
Who we are:
The Rotary Club of Mawddach was a friendly dual-gender club with a membership of diverse talents working together for the benefit of communities both locally and overseas. After 15 years of service we regrettably find ourselves having to close down as we have been unable to entice a younger generation to carry on the mantle. We will close on Dec 31st 2020
What we do:
We have supported local clubs and N Wales charities in addition to undertaking other health and water-aid projects as far apart as Nepal and Mexico. We have been strong supporters of Shelterbox (set up by Rotary) to provide quick support in areas of natural disaster and civil war.
Welcome:
We would like to thank everyone who has supported our fundraising events over the years.
Provision of Defibrillator in Dolgellau
Mawddach RC's project to install a Defribrillator in Dolgellau's Main Car Park was well received - inspite of the weather on the day! - thanks to the generosity of the local Business Community, who collectively raised the £1,500 needed for it's purchase and installation.
A real Heartfelt "Thank You" goes to everyone involved for being part of this lifesaving project.
