Reepham Rotary has supported many charities, large and small, international and local. We aim to pick organisations where our contribution can make a sustained difference. Here is our most recent work.
Local causes fund
The Local Causes Fund makes small grants for the purchase of specific equipment which will assist local organisations in delivering services and facilities to people in Reepham. Typically, grants will be for less than £500.
Most recently, the Club has been pleased to make an award to the Bircham Centre to help with the repair and replacement of gazebos used for public events. Previously Rotary has also been able to help the Little Robins Football Team with funds for goalposts and support Reepham Scouts purchase of camping equipment. Organisations seeking funds should email pres@reephamrotary.org.uk detailing what they require and how it will help their plans.
Aquaboxes
Our 100 Club provides regular funds for water treatment boxes to be sent quickly to major disaster areas. More
Parkinsons UK
This has been chosen as our President’s charity for the last two years as it is particularly concerning for members. They fund research and provide much useful advice to sufferers.
Malaika Kids
For some years, we have supported a school in Tanzania which trains abandoned street kids to do useful and rewarding jobs. More
Support for Ukraine
For the last two years we have sent money to an old people’s home, purchased generators and supported others sending supplies.
