Carlton Rotary is based in the Borough of Gedling, Nottingham. We are one of 61 Clubs in District 1220 which comprises Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
We are a part of Rotary International, which is the world’s largest service organisation.
The Club members include men and women from all walks of life. The projects we get involved in are incredibly fulfilling, worthwhile and rewarding – and there’s plenty of fun involved too. Our fundraising enables us to support many local organisations and accommodate requests from the local community. Requests can be made using the form above or via here: Contact us
