ROSS ROTARY SUPPORTING UKRAINE
It is a tragic and sad time for the people of Ukraine and the world
As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organisations, Rotary have made peace the cornerstone of our global mission
Ross Rotary are deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship there. Continued military action against Ukraine will not only devastate the region, but also risk spreading tragic consequences across Europe and the world
Ross Rotary join the international community in calling for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of Russian forces, and a restoration of diplomatic efforts to resolve this conflict through dialogue
In support of Ukraine, Ross Rotary have set-up a donation facility for anyone who wishes to help the peoples of Ukraine during this crisis
Please help us support them by clicking Donate
Rotary will do everything in its power to bring aid, support and peace to the region

"Namutumba" : Emmeline
Rotarian Deborah Wesonga of the Rotary Club of Jinja and former head of Kisiki Collage in Namutumba, a town that Ross-on-Wye is twinned with in Uganda, has been in contact as her 29 year old daughter Emmeline has a potentially terminal brain aneurysm
Emmeline is in need of an urgent operation but Uganda does not have the facilities, therefore she has been transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota USA for assessment
Cost of treatment is clearly a problem, Debora has raised 60% by asking friends and family, but is in need of a further £8000+

Ross Rotary have added a Charity Donation button to our website and social media presence, specifically for this cause. Please consider gift aiding any donation made where possible, as this will boost the amount raised from Ross-on-Wye residents and those further afield
Emmeline's operation went well and she continues to recover
"Defibrillator” : Ross-on-Wye Cricket Club 
There is a Defibrillator located inside the Sports Centre at Ross-on-Wye. However the Sports Centre is not always open.
Ross Rotary are campaigning to raise £1750 to provide an externally located Defibrillator at the Ross-on-Wye Cricket Club Pavilion. This would save approximately 5 -10 mins in time if the need arose - Time is of the essence in these situations, it saves lives
Message received from Ross-on-Wye Cricket Club
Ross-on-Wye Cricket Club are extremely grateful to The Rotary Club of Ross-on-Wye, and their members, for the generous donation. This will allow the Cricket Club to purchase a Defibrillator which will be located near to the Cricket Club’s pavilion. The purchase of the Defibrillator, this very important piece of medical equipment, will mean that it is easily at hand and will save precious minutes should the use of the defibrillator be required.
