Welcome to our club website homepage.
Have a look at “What We Do” to see what we have done recently and please have a look at “Meetings & Events” to see what we plan to do over the coming months.
We support local, national, and international charities by volunteering, street collecting and holding social events.
Last year, we achieved remarkable environmental success with two new local projects. The environment is an essential part of our future and it is my intention to reinforce this theme during my year as President.
It is my privilege to serve as president this year, when we will celebrate 90 years since we were first chartered. My chosen local charities to support this year are, “Bromley Child Carers” and “Bromley Food Bank.”
Our Rotary motto is “Service above Self.”

Rotarians volunteer as Covid Vaccination Centre Marshalls
"At the end of a cold busy day"
Together with other local clubs, Rotary Beckenham is helping to support the local community by volunteering as Covid Marshalls at vaccination centres in the borough. Our picture above shows Rotary West Wickham husband and wife team, Keith & Rosemary.
Club members have marshalled members of the public attending the Beckenham Beacon for their vaccinations. Duties included guiding, reassuring, assisting and checking in and handing the information forms to those attending the centre.
We are expecting to assist in marshalling at other local vaccination centres in due course.
