Rotary’s Mission Statement

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

People of Action

Our Club wishes to grow so we can continue to make a difference in our community…

We are a group of men and women from many different occupational backgrounds who live in the broad Gedling Borough area. The projects we get involved in are incredibly fulfilling, worthwhile and rewarding – and there’s plenty of fun involved too.

We’re looking for people of all ages and backgrounds to join us either as volunteers, members, or both.

What is Rotary?

Our local club is part of the worldwide Rotary International organisation of men and women who volunteer their time and talents to serve their communities at home and overseas.

We are just one of over 34,000 clubs in over 200 countries.

Why not enquire about joining us and becoming one of over 1.2 million Rotarians?
