WELCOME AND THANKS TO EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY 

New Malden Rotary has devoted 95 years of service to its community and the wider world.  We work closely with local environmental and community groups, including other Rotary Clubs and Kingston Borough Council.  We share our skills to help local schools and charities and volunteer for local projects.  

Our aim is to be people of action, working with like-minded groups and individuals, identifying where help is needed and reacting to it.  We are committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; all are welcome to join us or just join in as volunteers, committed to the idea of helping in our community where need exists while making friends and working together.

The main focus of our service is local but, being part of Rotary International, a world-wide association of more than 1.4 million members, we also work through District and Regional organisations to communicate with many areas of need, sometimes through direct co-operation with local Rotary Clubs in those areas.   

New Malden Rotary meets twice a month on Monday evenings although much of the work on projects and events is done in smaller teams, meeting as and when required. Occasional social events and informal gatherings also feature in our programme.   

New Malden is a vibrant, multi-cultural neighbourhood to which Rotary is proud to contribute.  

RECENT NEWS

On September 7th we welcomed to our meeting Ellen Constable, a student just starting in Year 12 at Holy Cross School, New Malden.  In July Ellen was sponsored by the club to attend the week-long course to achieve the Rotary Youth Leadership Award.  She came to our meeting to talk about her experience of the course, how she approached it with trepidation and anxiety, particularly having to meet and interconnect with groups of total strangers and having to undertake physical activities outside her normal experience.  Most of all she was worried about overcoming her inbuilt fear of heights.  She spoke eloquently of how she approached and overcame these concerns and how the relationships with her fellow students developed put he lessons learned into practice as she finishesher lasting friendships.  Ellen impressed us with her grasp of the benefits of the course and of how she sees how she can put the experience into pracice as she completes her education and faces the world of work.

Her certificate from RYLA for completing the course was presented to Ellen by our President, Catherine Cassells, with our congratulations and our thanks for joining us for the evening.
