RotaKids

A scheme run in King Athelstan school to help children to fundraise and support good causes

RotaKids logo

Kingston Rotary supports the King Athelstan RotaKids club with liaison officers to offer advice.  The children decide themselves on projects and have visited a care home where they had a fun afternoon interacting with the residents.   They have supported a homeless charity visiting the centre and helping to prepare an evening meal; they even took cardboard boxes into the school hall and spent a lunchtime seeing what it was like to live on the streets.  

RotaKids is a fun and exciting way for children aged 7-12 to make friends and get involved with important activities in the community, all while having a great time in the process. 

RotaKids clubs are based in schools, youth groups or community centres and with the help and support from teachers, youth leaders and the local Rotary club, children can gain a valuable experience in helping others and learning interesting, new things.  It also brings an exciting and practical approach to supporting the citizenship element of the national curriculum.  By doing so, children enjoy a boost to their confidence and self-esteem at a key age and develop and understanding of how their actions can impact on others.
