Charitable Work

Our club remit is that we support local charities. Over the last 39 years we have raised an incredible £500,000 through our members efforts and fund raising events.

We particularly support charities involved with young people and the following organisations have received yearly financial support from us: Grange School, Crucial Crew, Shrewsbury College Star Awards.

Last year we supported a lovely trip on a canal boat for elderly people with the Lyneal Trust. It was so successful that we are repeating this again this year.

We have just made a large donation to The Ark so that they could upgrade their kitchen facilities.

We hold a yearly elderly residents Christmas Party at the St Barnabas centre in Coleham.

Other local donations have been made over the years to: Hope House, Air Ambulance, Parkinsons, Severn Hospice, Water Aid, Prostate Cancer and a multitude of small organisations like the Street Pastors, Riding for the Disabled.

One charity we have supported for several years in Third World countries is ‘Lend with Care’ https://lendwithcare.org/ This organisation identifies people in various countries who could benefit from some financial help. These could be people who wish to start a business but don't have the capital. Over recent years our club has lent £6,600 to various projects in Third World countries. We have made 131 loans, helped 956 entrepreneurs, which in turn has helped 3554 family members and created 1107 jobs.

We also support emergency aid requests and have recently made a substantial donation to Jamaica Rotary following the devastation bought on by recent storms.

We recently supported a young lady to travel out to Kenya to carry out some animal husbandry work out there!

Anyone can ask us for assistance for themselves or others.
