Rotary are vibrant and energised people in our community 18+ who want to give back to the community, volunteer and make a difference.
The purpose of Rotary is to provide an opportunity for people to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.
The goals of Rotary are:
1. To develop professional and leadership skills;
2. To emphasise respect for the rights of others and to promote ethical standards and dignity;
3. To provide opportunities to address the needs and concerns of the community and our world;
4. To provide opportunities for working in co-operation with other Rotary clubs;
5. To provide opportunities for international travel to Rotary projects.

Originally founded in Chicago in the United States in 1905 with just 4 people we now have 1.4m members in 35,000 clubs in 200 countries and you will be welcome to visit anyone of them on your holidays!
The cost of being a member is just £10 per month through the Rotary Year (1st July to 30th June). To put that into context, that's less than the price of a cup of coffee a week to be part of one of the biggest organisations in the world. You are never far from a friendly Rotary club that could be in a position to help you if something goes wrong while you are traveling!
