We want to make sure your Rotary experience is the best it can be and fits around your lifestyle so we shall start by asking you to contact  our Membership Secretary, Jaime Wallden, who will chat to you to find out what form of membership is of interest to you. Contact Jaime Wallden on telephone 07866 536 277 or email: jaimewallden@mansellmataggart.co.uk

What is Rotary Direct?    A new way of doing Rotary.

Direct membership gives individuals the chance to join Rotary as an organization, meaning you are'nt limited to just one club but instead join a much busier environment and are able to work across muliple projects.

The Rotary Direct Membership Network complements and works alongside existing clubs and embraces technology by operating in a virtual space, connecting like-minded people who share a passion for specific causes, locally, nationally and internationally.

Rotary connects people to make a positive impact in the world.

How does it work?

The Rotary Direct Membership Network is all located in a Microsoft Teams environment. This brings people together online 24/7 and allows for full flexibility when you take part in Rotary activities compared to the fixed traditional weekly meetings that face-to-face clubs have.

As a direct member, you can not only have access to the fully online environment with seminars and workshops on the Direct Membership Network, but you can also work with any Rotary club local to you on their projects.

Whether you are at home or on holiday you can contact the local club and join in on their events or attend meetings to further expand your Rotary knowledge and form more connections.
