Rotary Children's Fun Day

- providing positive experiences for some of the UK's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

On 1st July 2025, 37 students from Co-op Academy Southfield, each with their own unique needs, were joined by 15 dedicated carers and teachers for a fun-filled adventure at Hesketh Farm, courtesy of Rotary Bradford West.

From feeding and stroking friendly farm animals to racing around the adventure playground, the children embraced every moment with laughter and delight. But the absolute highlight? A bumpy, boisterous tractor ride, with whoops and cheers echoing across the fields—it felt like a countryside roller-coaster!

A day to remember for everyone, including our 8 members looking splendid in their branded T-shirts and caps.

The programme is organised by Rotary clubs across the country. It is supported by Kids in Mind, a children's charity that offers mental health and wellbeing support for children escaping domestic violence. More details here. Rotary Children's Fun Day - Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland
