Carlton Rotary Club

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 via here: Contact us

Over the last few years the St John’s Canoe Club have given Carlton Rotary the funds raised from their annual 4 Counties Canoe Race to be distributed to those in need in the local community. https://stjohnscanoeclub.co.uk/

Funds given in 2021:

• £250 from the sale of our 2021 Calendars was given to the Friends of Gedling Country Park at our meeting on 25th February.
• A District Grant of £250 enabled us to double that to give £500 to the WeRHere charity based in Arnold to develop a resource to offer their extremely successful self-esteem building course. They plan to resource families with individual craft activities and then engage with family groups using Zoom.
