What we do
The motto for Rotary the world over is “Service above Self” and
to that end we support our communities in many ways…..
Christmas Sleigh Collection
We provide Santa and Sleigh for the annual
Christmas Parade in Oswestry on the first Saturday
in December. Then we collect money around the
streets of Oswesty and surrounding villages up to
Christmas eve. Money collected is distributed to
local charities and organisations and other charities
supported by Rotary.
Avalon Centre in Oswestry
We are helping the attendees of the Avalon Centre
in Victoria Road in Oswestry by trimming back the
overgrown hedges. We will be providing raised
bedding areas from recycled wooden pallets so the
wheel chair attendees can have the joy of growing
their own vegetables from plant to plate.
Clearing gardens
We have cleared many gardens for local elderly and
vulnerable residents where the garden has become
out of control.
Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital
We have adopted the car park islands, flower
beds and roundabout out side the main
entrance.
We have also started a new service of
collecting crutches and Walking Frames from
patients that no longer need them.
They are returned to the hospital where they
are sterilised, refurbished and reissued saving
the Trust up to £25,000 per year.

Rotary is especially dedicated to ending polio through
the End Polio Now initiative and since 1979 its
members have donated money, lobbied
governments, provided practical support to deliver
polio vaccines and volunteered at national
immunisation days in all corners of the world.
Thanks to Rotary and its partners, there are now just
3 polio-endemic countries (Afghanistan, Nigeria,
Pakistan), the lowest in human history. Although
Britain has not seen polio for many years, it is vital we
continue our efforts to eliminate the disease
worldwide so it can never return.
Rotary is an international organisation,
the largest Non-Governmental
Organisation (NGO) in the world. The
Rotary Foundation is our own charity,
supported by voluntary contributions
from Rotarians, friends and donations
from the public who share its vision of
a better world both at home and
overseas. Funds raised are generally
used to finance long term sustainable
projects in the following seven areas.
