Welcome from President Paul

My name is Paul Scullion and I am proud to become the Club President of Glossop Rotary Club in our 80th year.

I have lived in Glossop all my life and this opportunity to give something back to our community whilst enjoying the company of a very special team of people is a privilege.

My wife, Annette, has always been there for me and supports everything the club undertakes. She is also a member of the Glossop Inner Wheel club who help us stage many of our events.

I joined Glossop Rotary Club five years ago to carry on the great traditions instilled in me in the Round Table movement. (Glossop Rotary Club were instrumental in setting up Glossop Round Table)

I would sincerely like to thank Past President Karen for her sterling work last year and her excellent initiative on researching the clubs wishes. As our first lady member and President, Karen brought us into the modern world.

Last year we awarded many donations to local and international charities and held our second technology challenge for our local schools. I hope that I can maintain Karen’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. We are also, for the first time, holding a Santa Fun Run in December!

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 where 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.
