Our BLEED BOX CAMPAIGN is aiming to install emergency bleed packs all around the Metropolitan Borough (e.g. in Silver Street Bury ). Other local Rotary Clubs have joined us together with Bury Lions and other local organisations. We have recently received the magnificent sum of £7500 from Bury Lions towards more boxes. Many thanks to them!

The  "WRAP UP BURY" coat collection will take place again this year, 23rd October to 6th November 2023. We especially need coats foir children.Thank you for all your past contributions!

We will be collecting for the POPPY APPEAL in Tesco Woodfields 28th October to 11th November

THE CHRISTMAS FLOAT, will hopefully enter its 46th year on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in December. Look out for details on Facebook.

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. 

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. This small 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. Planning permission is in progress. We welcome any ideas that you may have.

Recently, Tottington Primary School pupils have again helped with planting along the perimeter wall. Many thanks to them.

Note that much of this money is raised via our Christmas Float and collections from our very generous General Public.

Our Daffodil planting this year was at Private Peachment VC Town Meadow Park, Tottington.

Note the Spring daffodils along much of Brandlesholme and Longsight Roads are mainly the result of Club plantings over the last decade or so.
