Report on Service given and  Charitable giving  

in Rotary Year 2016/17 

 

This is a provisional account of the service given and or money distributed to charities (actually sent or approved by Club Council to be sent) by members of the Rotary Club of Bradford (36 members) during the course of the Rotary year 2016/17.  

 

The club raised over £10,000 this year from supermarket collections, social events, raffles, successful grant applications, other fundraising and members donations to Rotary Foundation. Using this and cash in hand we have dispersed over £11,000 of which over 75% went to Bradford  charities                         (NB these are provisional figures, a full audited account will be produced later.) 

 

 

Community, Youth, Vocational & Environmental Service work in Bradford 

  • We provided financial support to “Centrepoint”, Bradford, by giving £2200 to this organisation for the resettlement needs of homeless young people in Bradford. We raised half the amount and obtained a District Rotary Foundation Grant for the other half.  

  • We continued to support the successful Interact Club in a local school. (Introducing children  to working with Rotary ideals and, with our Club’s participation and ongoing supervision, working to help the community),  This Club has itself raised over £2000 this year for local charities 

  • The Club organised a local “Youth Speaks” as part of a national Rotary debating competition which was attended by local senior and intermediate school teams.  We supported the two winning teams who went on to represent Bradford in regional finals. 

  • We again sponsored two young people from another local school to attend Rotary Youth Leadership schemes. The school part matched this funding so three young people benefited from learning self-reliance and leadership and were also introduced to the ideals of Rotary 

  • We staffed 5 days (0900 -1800) of supermarket collections advertising the work of Rotary as well as collecting money. 

  • We organised a Christmas Service in Bradford Cathedral and gave half the £1034 raised to the work of the Cathedral in the community. 

  • Together with local community groups in Thornton, we maintained two Rotary gardens. One dedicated to the late Valerie Binney former Lord Mayor and Club member. 

  • Club members have undertaken 2 half day litter picks at Undercliffe Cemetary. 

  • Club members have assisted with the clearance of overgrown trees and bushes on public land near our meeting venue 

  • We organised a Charity walk which raised £3000 for the Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford.
