Our latest project is Bleed Boxes, emergency bleed packs, to be installed around the Metropolitan Borough. Other local Rotary Clubs have joined us together with Bury Lions and other local organisations. There will be several events arranged to collect money. Watch this space.

We are doing the "Wrap up Bury" coat collection again this year: collecting boxes will be available 24th October to 6th November.

On 3rd weeks in the month we undertake various community projects, at present including helping out at Pets in Need (Mondays), St John's Garden/churchyard maintainance (most Wednesday mornings, if not wet). Also some litter picks. Contact for details.

Some of us are also helping at Tottington Centre with the voluntary library service to replace that relinquished by the local council in December 2017. The library is open, Mondays to Fridays from 10.00 am to 5 pm (plus Saturday mornings 10-1). There is also a cafe: hours as library, except 10-4 pm weekdays. Book, Jigsaw etc., sale: September 3rd and 4th, 11-3pm

With much help from Tottington Primary School Year 5, we are continuing our project to develop Whitehead Gardens, Tottington. Eventually, we hope to have a pleasanter park to visit and to make it part of a Tottington History Trail. The park is a Memorial to those killed by a bomb in WWII at the site. Now we have secured pump funding, Proffitts are looking for extensive funding and have produced  plans. We welcome any ideas that you may have.
