Rotary Club of Bradford 

Report on the work of the Club in Rotary Year 2022/23 

 

 

 

An account of the community service given and money distributed to charities by the 25 members of the Rotary Club of Bradford during the Rotary year 2022/23 (1st July to 30th June inclusive). 

 

Despite a membership decline in recent years due to the incapacity or death of long serving active members and some members unable to engage with Club activities due to other commitments, a central core of under half the membership has had a very worthwhile year, as is reflected below. 

 

In total the club raised over £13,100 from public events, successful grant applications, other internal club fundraising and members donations. Two thirds of money raised came from events open to non-members and/or the general public. Using the funds we raised we have actually dispersed over £11,900 of which over 61%  went to Bradford charities. (NB. Our audited accounts are published later.) 

 

 

Community, Youth, Vocational & Environmental Service work in Bradford 

This last Rotary Year we…………………. 

  • Supported needy people in Bradford with donations totalling £2,627, being respectively £1,427 and £1200 to the Bradford Soup Run and the Bradford Food Bank. 

  • Used a Rotary District Foundation Grant and some of our funds to give £2,250 to the Bradford run charity Healthcare4all’ which organises healthcare in rural Pakistan. 

  • Continued supervision of our Interact Club (introducing Rotary ideals to the young) as they continued their service to help the community. Their work is not included here. 

  • Sponsored a local inner City school student to attend youth leadership training, and we also provided transport to and from the distant venue.  

  • Continued to be involved with several local schools; in total this year four schools benefitted from our involvement or financial donations.   

  • Supported organisations working with young people by donations to Centrepoint who work with disadvantaged youth and separately to a local theatre group for children.  

  • Did an environmental litter pick prior to Remembrance Day at Undercliffe Cemetery.  

  • Attended and participated in Civic Remembrance Day events. 

  • Celebrated the Clubs recent Centenary with a special flower bed in Lister Park.
