Welcome from President Steve 

My name is Steve Robertson and I am proud to become the Club President of Glossop Rotary Club in our 81st year.

I welcome this opportunity to give something back to our community whilst enjoying the company of a very special team of people.

My wife, Chris, has always been there for me and supports everything the club undertakes.  

I joined Glossop Rotary Club fifteen years ago to be part of a committed group raising funds for both local and international good causes.  

I would sincerely like to thank Past President Paul for his sterling work last year and the projects undertaken during the year, especially the 60,000 meal pack event.

Last year we awarded many donations to local and international charities and held our third technology challenge for our local schools. I hope that I can maintain Paul’s commitment to service in our community.

Our club theme for this year is “work hard and play hard”. 

Rotary’s primary aim is the eradication of polio and we have spent over $1,800,000,000 in the past 30 years to achieve this end. We are almost there. The Rotary movement (R.I.) has over 1,200,000 members throughout the world, with over 50,000 in the UK.

One of Glossop club’s newest initiatives is the provision of mosquito nets and a number of new projects from "Jobs in a box" to Wateraid.  

Locally we have provided a range of support from small grants to local groups and charities to staging projects for the benefit of our young people. Please visit our “What we do” pages to review the many projects we do and have undertaken.

We also have a Club Facebook page which is updated weekly and there you can follow our news items - what we have done, are doing and plan to do.  Click the link here to view and see what we're up to. 

We also have a club Flickr page with lots of pictures from our activities. Please click here to see our activities.

If you would like to come along to one of our speaker meetings please give our secretary, Ron Bowden, a call on 01457 766840 or email him at: secretary@glossop.rotary1285.org 

We have a "˜Donate Button"™ below through which you can still make personal donations to our Trust Fund Account, and which is used to make our the donations to the local, National and Global Charities which we support.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our 2018 Glossop Jog on the 7th October in aid of Macmillan. 
The weather was kind to us and there were perfect jogging conditions on the day.
For an hour the streets were filled with runners raising money for Macmillan.
There were 225 sponsored runners from 14 schools and businesses, and we had a total of over 300 runners on the day.
For information on the great work Macmillan does please refer to their website www.macmillan.org.uk
Also a big thank you to all the helpers without whom we could not hold the event.
