Rotary is one of the world’s leading membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.2 million members globally. 
Members can volunteer on community and humanitarian projects making a difference locally, or internationally. Originally formed as a networking organisation this still plays a part in Rotary life providing opportunity to expand personal and professional circles, meet new people and make lasting friendships, all whilst having fun.
