Community Service
Supporting our town and surrounding villages in projects which enhance community life.
The Community Committee of Torrington Rotary works on mainly local projects aimed at supporting those who live in our town and surrounding villages.
During the last 2 years we've completed various projects- installing another new defibrillator on the Tarka Trail, providing new seating for Torrington Library, helping fund the new hanging baskets in the Pannier Market and new plants in Sidney House gardens and we've made many donations to local charities, such as Men's Sheds, the Bickford Centre and the Foodbank. We've donated over £500,000 since our club first started.
We're also at the Torrington Pannier Market... come and visit our Torrington Rotary stall where you can find out more about our club from our President Elect Martyn Butler, and maybe have a go on the tombola!
Our annual golfing day fundraiser is on Sat 5 July at Holsworthy Golf Club... lots of prizes, great food and a super day out! Please contact Martyn Butler for more information.
If you know of a local 'good cause' that Rotary might help in 2025, please let us know by using the 'Contact Us' link on the home page.
