District Assembly -

Rotary, in collaboration with other local organisations, is helping people to improve their home energy usage. We have received a Rotary District Grant and are supported by the High Peak Borough Council Community Climate and Nature Action Fund.

Some of this year's achievements

We are in the process of becoming a "Climate Clever" Rotary Club. We have achieved level one "Inspire" and are now working on achieving the next level - "Investigate".

Awarded for the environment project on home insulation and reducing energy consumption.

We have recently contributed over £4000 to local groups, including St Anne's school, Buxton Mountain Rescue, the Robotics club, Childrens' Cancer, Rotary Young Leaders Award (RYLA) and the Wells Dressing Committee.

The Rotary global charity, the Rotary Foundation, supports a wide range of international projects aligned to the Rotary "pillars". Yes, it really did raise over $500 million - it's not a typo!

100 boxes of Christmas biscuits were shared with local charities. Thanks to Morrisons for their generous discount and community support. For each box we bought, Morrisons donated one to support communities around the area.

Now that the vaccination programme has started we are planning activities (Covid-safe) for later this year. We are helping with traffic control at the Buxton Medical vaccination hub.

Primary school children need to be able to work online but many don't have a computer/tablet. With a District Contingency Fund Grant we have donated £1000 to Buxton Infants and Fairfield Infants for computers.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
