Fund Raising Review.

Stpwmarket and Gipping Valley Rotary club are well ahead on this initiative.

The Club held a street collection in Stowmarket to support shelterbox in supporting those effected by the earthquake in Morocco.

We organised a stand at the recent (March 2024) Business Exhibition run by the Stowmarket Chamber of Commerce. Many useful contacts were made, and possible businesses being made ‘Friends of Rotary’. The photo shows club president Guy Wiltshear in front

This features the fundraising activities we have undertaken since 2022.

Member Rod Curtis organised on behalf of the club some warm clothing and a bench for the Stowmarket Town Youth under 11 team who come under the auspices of the Stowmarket Town Football Club.

The Project provides a Moses basket full of all the items both mother and baby need for the first few weeks of the baby's life.

Presentation to the club.

A litter pick was organised by the Stowmarket Town Council in which Rotary gave a helping hand. The photo shows the Rotary volunteers waiting for the ‘off’.

At the Mendlesham Street Fayre barrow of booze a hamper was raffled and the winning ticket was drawn by the May Day Queen. This raised £460. Thanks are due to resident Val Remington-Hobbs for loan of the gazebo and other support.

A street collection was held in Stowmarket to support relief for this disaster.

This area is under development but will be used to highlight friends and corporate organisations that support our Rotary Club.

We had an interesting talk from Mike Smith of the Stowmarket Food Bank. A cheque for £500 was presented on behalf of the club by Kevin Widdick, President Elect

Each year we raffle Easter Eggs in local pubs and businesses.

Over 2 days at the end of November, members of the club collected £775 for local good causes.
