Vocational
Our Committee supports young people, local schools and the wider community through educational, vocational and personal development opportunities, while encouraging our members to share their skills, experience and time.
Vocational & Youth Opportunities
The Vocational & Youth Opportunities Committee supports young people in the Sidcup area by helping them access opportunities that build confidence, develop skills and encourage personal growth.
Through these activities, our members enjoy working together, sharing their experience and making a positive difference in our local community.
************************************************************************************************
Our current projects and activities include:
RoSET
RoSET (The Rotary Club of Sidcup Educational Trust) has been supporting young people under the age of 26 who live, work or are educated in the Sidcup area for many years.
The Trust provides financial assistance to help young people take part in character-building, educational or other positive activities, including sport and performing arts, which they may not otherwise be able to afford.
If you know a young person who could benefit from RoSET support, please encourage them to get in touch.
************************************************************************************************
Young Enterprise
Sidcup Rotary Club has supported Young Enterprise for over 25 years through our Youth Opportunities Programme.
Young Enterprise helps young people develop confidence, teamwork, financial awareness and enterprise skills, preparing them for the challenges of further education, employment and the wider world of work.
Rotarians support local schools by sharing their experience, encouraging students and helping them develop practical skills through enterprise activities.
If you would like to support Young Enterprise as a teacher, volunteer, business partner, past participant, or would like to find out more about becoming involved with Sidcup Rotary Club, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Supporting Local Schools
Rotarians support local schools by giving their time and experience where it can make a difference.
This includes assisting with examination invigilation at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, providing reading support at Orchard Primary School, and helping to revitalise several of the school’s raised flower beds.

Bexley Music
The committee and other Rotarians continue to support Bexley Music through its Young Musician competitions and concerts throughout the year.
These events help encourage young musical talent while also supporting fundraising activities for local charities and good causes.
