Why join Rotary?
Mumbles Rotary provides friendship which is one of the two main reasons why Rotary began in 1905. Business networking was the second original reason for Rotary starting. These days family programmes are important, Rotary has a host of programmes to help families increase their circle of friends and their interests. Rotary is a Service club; its business is mankind, its product is Service.
The Rotary Club of Mumbles, was formed in 1970. Members normally meet at 7pm in Norton House Hotel, Norton Road, Mumbles SA3 5TQ, on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month (unless there is a Public Holiday in which case an alternative Monday will be chosen). On occasional Monday's we hold a meeting via Zoom. Meetings include Speaker, Business and Fellowship Evenings. Whatever the occasion we aim to enjoy friendship and fun!

We provide support for National, International, but mainly Local Good Causes. Last year we raised £2070 for the local Ty Olwen Hospice at our Champagne Lunch; this time our fundraising Lunch raised £2800 for the Motor Neuron Disease Association. Currently, we are supporting the Surfability group at Caswell Bay where they help youngsters with a disability to enjoy the sea. We organised a great fun "Pirates Day" on 5th July at all seven of our Primary Schools in support of the RNLI 200 which resulted in £1245 going to the RNLI. In recent years we have contributed to local organisations such as:- Maggie's Cancer care Centre, Talking Hands and Ty Laura then Internationally Shelterbox, Lifestraws (provides clean water), Mary's Meals etc..
