Planting Purple Crocus Bulbs

Supporting the eradication of Polio world wide

‹ › ×

Stainborough Rotarians have been busy planting purple crocus bulbs this Autumn across Barnsley and its surrounding districts, including Dodworth, Lock Park, Notton and Pensitone.

Spring each year sees a beautiful purple carpet of crocus blooming in many communities across Great Britain and Ireland thanks to the Purple Crocus Corm planting to raise awareness of the Rotary fight for a polio free world. Planting the purple crocus corms by Rotary is a great way of getting active, having fun and talking to lots of different people about the need to eradicate the life threatening and disabling polio virus.

Stainborough Rotary Club is very active in the community, supporting worthy causes such as Centrepoint, Silkstone Scout Camp and Young People’s leadership programme. The Club also helps Santa with his Sleigh every Christmas.

Enthusiastic volunteers helping to create the vital water borehole. Water = life !!

We have close links, over many years, with Ho in Ghana. We have helped to fund the building of a Women's Co-operative, a Rotary Community Hall, a Street Children's centre, a water borehole and now the building of a sand dam.

Stainborough raises funds for charities through organising events, Sponsorship, car boot & table top sales, competitions and selling merchandise.

Our own charity - the Rotary Foundation.

Stainborough is a friendly club with lots of well supported events throughout the year. Some are 'just for fun', whilst others raise money for good causes at the same time.
