About us
Dorchester Poundbury Rotary Club
Since 2013, Dorchester Poundbury Rotary has grown into a dynamic, welcoming breakfast club that meets every Friday morning. Chartered in 2014, we’ve built a reputation for energy, innovation, and genuine community spirit.
Our Friday meetings feature a rotating programme of guest speakers, member-led sessions, business discussions, and plenty of fellowship. With more than 30 members — and always room for more — we’re a club full of ideas, enthusiasm, and action. We have members of all ages from 30 upwards.
We organise our work through dedicated teams focusing on Community, Environmental, Foundation, Interntional, Membership, Speakers, Sport and Youth allowing our members to find something that they personally enjoy to best focus their efforts to support projects that matter both locally and globally.
Whether you’re interested in volunteering, networking, or simply learning more, you’re invited to join us. Stay connected — follow our club on Facebook and LinkedIn for updates, events, and stories from around Poundbury, Dorchester.
