What We Do

The motto of Rotary is ‘Service Above Self’, and our work revolves around 7 key focuses that promote positive action on a local, national, and international basis.

The local community in Leicester has benefitted greatly from the activities of the club with recent projects including collections for families facing food poverty, support for the elderly, and educational projects.

Additionally, our members have taken part in international initiatives like helping to provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to communities overseas, assisting with healthcare programs such as working to eradicate polio, and providing assistance and aid to countries with conflict and natural disasters.

The Rotary Foundation

Rotary International helps people across the world through programmes such as the Rotary Foundation, which among many other things provides scholarships for young people to study in other countries. The Foundation is also leading Polio Plus, a 30-year campaign started in 1985 in partnership with international and national bodies with the aim of totally eliminating the scourge of polio. Over 75 million children and adults at risk were immunised on a single day as part of the Polio Plus campaign.
