Rotary Shoebox Appeal - December 2020

A bar of soap for each child to take home. We donated three boxes of soap, masks, sanitary items and other toiletries - all on their way by sea container at the beginning of September.

28 teams, 112 men and women having a crack at the 18 holes of the Milton Golf Course. Competition, conversation, good food. And over £4,000 raised for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall and the other charities supported by the Club.

Education Changes Lives - We have long supported this school in Sierra Leone, and, in March, donated £2,000. 400 girls and boys benefit from free education - and a chance to realise their potential, helping themselves and their country.

January 2021: The Club donated £750 to Peterborough Eating Disorder Support (PEDS), to help the charity produce a video to be used in their work.

We've been recycling for years. Various items are collected by the Club, and then passed on to organizations, including the Leprosy Mission here in Peterborough, for them to re-use or turn into cash..

We normally enjoy meeting up for lunch or dinner. This isn't possible at present, so members have been putting aside some of what we would have spent on our meals into a "Silver Lining Fund". This will go towards helping some local small charities.

December 2020: A fantastic 357 shoeboxes collected, filled with clothes, toys, stationery, toiletries and household items, for distribution to people in Moldova.

June 2021: The Club donated another £580 to the ShelterBox charity to support its work in supplying shelters, medical supplies and other essentials in disaster situations throughout the world. A similar donation was made in December 2020.
