WELCOME TO OUR CLUB
Christmas Cheer and Fundraising!
A big welcome to the Rotary Club of Chipping Sodbury.
So what actually is Rotary?
The Rotary Club of Chipping Sodbury is part of Rotary International which provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Today there are approximately 1.2 million Rotarians who belong to more than 31,000 Rotary clubs located in 167 countries
What does this club do?
Joining a Rotary Club is a great way to meet people and make new friends whilst, at the same time, putting something back into society. Friendship is a key word within the club and supporting the community is always combined with fun.
We meet regularly for sociable and interesting events whilst also working to help support local, regional and international projects.
And where does that money come from?
In Chipping Sodbury our club currently raises money through four main annual events; a classic car run; helping a lung-busting off-road running event known as the Sodbury Slog: a Golf Day and selling Mince Pies and Mulled Wine at the Chipping Sodbury Christmas Sunday.
Typically we raise around £10,000 each year to suppport our good causes
We have a number of social events though the year that are open to everyone. To find out more use the CONTACT tab at the top of this page
