Rotary International is probably the most effective charity in the world.

We do not throw money at problems; we prefer to provide long term solutions to them.

And we do not waste money on 'overheads' or 'administration'; all the proceeds we collect go to the charities and other good causes we support.

Below is a list of some of them we have supported in the last few years. 

• 2nd and 3rd Goostrey Guides, Age Uk, Alzheimer's Society,
• Brook Street Chapel, Childline, Christies (Youth Oncology Unit)
•  East Cheshire Hospice, Jaipur Limbs, KHS PTA
• Kidskin, Red Cross, NMC Trading, Macmillan Cancer Care
• Royal British Legion, Cedars Care Home, Shelter Box
• Children's Liver Disease, Welcome Cafe
• Egerton Njoro Project, The Children's Burns Foundation
• Francis House Children's Hospice
• Mid Cheshire Riding for the Disabled
• Children's Air Ambulance

 We also have our own charity, Rotary Foundation that covers many other charities.

For example,   

The Jaipur Limb story where disabled people re-build their lives for very little cost.

The End Polio Now campaign to eradicate the scourge of polio world-wide.

The Shelter Box charity that leads the world in emergency relief techniques.

and many more, all started by Rotary Foundation.
