Local Community Support
Supporting our local Keswick Community and having some fun along the way is an important aspect of what we do. Some examples of these are shown here
- The Keswick Show is held each year on the August bank holiday . Keswick Rotary Club members help to man the entrance gates and also assist with parking duties
- In November we assist Booth’s supermarket with their Children in Need fundraising day that raises over £2,000
- We bought a telephone box in the town centre and installed a defibrillator for community use. We check it weekly and formally report any issues
- We are part of the organisation that runs the Keswick Victorian Fayre each year, held in the first week of December which attracts large numbers of visitors to the town . The Fayre is held in the market square and features charity stalls and live entertainment. It and gives local charities and good causes the opportunity to have a stall for the day to raise funds for their organisation. Typically overall they they raise around £20,000. In addition our Club runs a stall raising funds for our own Rotary Charities.
- Each year we sponsor 2 people from the Keswick area to attend the Rotary week at Calvert Trust
- Regularly visit the North Lakes Foodbank to assist with packing food and support the excellent work that they do. We have donated food and cash to them.
- During the Rugby season support our local Club by creating a regular match day programme and collecting gate money.
