A Shropshire village community hub is to receive its third Rotary donation to support their food bank.
At the same time, Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club’s latest gift of £300 to Pontesbury Community Hub will also help finance a luncheon club where people can obtain a cooked meal for a small charge. The request for a donation came to Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club via a past member who recently retired from the club on health grounds.
Members agreed to £300 and also considered a further request to help two Brownies pay their subs for the year. The request to Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club came from the District Commissioner for Girlguiding, via a current member, because the families of the two local girls are unable to meet the cost. Members heard that the two girls are enthusiastic Brownies and said to be ‘desperate’ to retain their membership. The subs are £25 per girl per term and the club has been asked to provide support for the year – which is three terms. Members agreed to the request for £150.
