Welcome to the Rotary Club of Rushden!

Rotary is the largest service organisation in the world. In simple terms, Rotary exists to help people and organisations locally, nationally and internationally. In the last Rotary Year 2021/22, our Club donated more than £14,000 to a wide range of worthy causes such as Rushden Foodbank (now Encompass), Parkinsons UK, Northants Search and Rescue, Shelterbox (Haiti)… For a full list of organisations where financial aid was given, please go to the Club Service page of this site.

During the early part of 2022, we were all horrified at the situation in the Ukraine and to this end, we are working closely with a Rotary club in Poland – The Rotary Club of Zamosc Ordonyzca - which is located approximately 45 miles from the Ukrainian border and has established a separate Refugee fund. We have confidence that money donated to this fund will be spent in an appropriate manner. At the time of writing, we have donated a total of £3600 but more importantly, Rotary worldwide has donated a total of more than £13 million which is staggering.

Rotary is not in any way religious nor is it an exclusive organisation. Our Members are men and women of all ages and from all walks of life who want to help and to do good in the local area. We pride ourselves on having a relaxed and friendly nature, with varied activities of a social, fellowship and charitable fundraising nature. We have fun! Click on our Meetings and Events button at the top of the page to see what we are doing over the coming months.

We hold fortnightly meetings at The Stanwick Hotel, NN9 6QY so if you would like to learn more about us or if you are a Rotarian from another Rotary Club, why not come along and join us. Get in touch with us by phone or email and find out how you can make a real difference.
