In existence since 1954, Watton and District Rotary Club is a small, but friendly club which is committed to the local community and manages to achieve a huge amount through the hard work and community spirit of all its Members. We are a mixed group of local people from a variety of backgrounds who work together to try and make the world a better place. Most importantly, we enjoy it as well, combining hard work with a great social life. We are proud to belong to the worldwide Rotary International organisation Thanks to the generosity of the people of Watton and surrounding villages we manage to raise a lot of money each year to support local, national and international good causes. We are a COMMUNITY club and we aim to serve our local community wherever we can. We want to help make the area around Watton an even better place to live by supporting local community activities and working with local schools to reinforce the wonderful work they are doing for all our young people. Why not get in touch?
