The event was hosted by the Rotaract Clubs of University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University (District 1220) at the Djanogly International Centre

We celebrated the achievements of the two Rotaract Clubs over the past year, and looked forward to the coming year

We thank the Rotaractors in #Nottingham for an inspiring and enjoyable event. Their passion and leadership have delivered numerous fun, engaging and important events this year that have furthered the cause of Rotary both in the UK & Ireland, and internationally. It was wonderful to share in their celebrations and we look forward to supporting them in the coming year

Rotaract clubs bring together people aged 18 and older to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service

The Rotary Club of Nottingham is incredibly proud to have sponsored the two Rotaract Clubs in District 1220, and they can be assured of our continuing support into 2023/24
