Our own club regularly support the following competitions and programmes
For information on the current competitions, check out the What we Do/Youth section of the website.
Young Chef
This is a well established competition for students between 11 - 17 years. The competitor has to produce a healthy economical two course meal. Local participants compete at Stafford College using their facilities. Winners will go forward to a District competition.
Technology Challenge
This is a challenge aimed at primary school children. A team of Rotarians come and spend the day with the class and work through some problem solving and the builing of a structure. Great fun and everyone gets something out of the day.
Debating Challenge
This is run in conjunction with other Stafford Rotary clubs and our MP Mr Lefroy. Teams from the schools go down to London and hold the debate in one of the committee rooms. Great experience for them.
Peace Project
The Peace project is an opportunity for young people to be aware of what they say and how it may be interpretted. It is about building a more inclusive society with in the school and beyond. The course puts in place the building blocks of a better society wheth that is at home, school or the wider community.

Books4home
Many children do not own a single book of their own, and so Books4home work with schools to give free pre loved books to children to take home and keep. We are always looking for good quality books that are no longer needed as well as schools to take part in this project. Contact message@rotaryclubofstaffordknot.org.uk
