Welcome to Rotary Club Leicester

Get involved & make a difference!

One of the UK’s longest-established Rotary Clubs built up of local volunteers committed to making an impact within our local community of Leicestershire and on an international basis.

What is the Rotary Club?

The Rotary Club charity is a global network of passionate individuals united in our commitment to making a positive difference in the world. Rotarians make their mark by being of service to local communities, supporting international volunteer projects and providing humanitarian service to those in need. We need your help to bridge cultures and bring countries together, inspire hope and develop solutions for peace and understanding.

Rotary is a volunteer organisation that relies on its members’ enthusiasm, creativity and expertise to achieve our mission. Our members come from all walks of life with one thing in common: they share a desire to use their skills for good causes. 

Rotarians are people of action who roll up their sleeves to mobilise their communities to get the job done. By joining Rotary, you can become part of an international group working together for the betterment of humanity. Together, we can provide education, promote health awareness and tackle poverty!

Here's What's In It For You

By joining Rotary, individuals are able to connect with a worldwide network of professionals who share the same values and commitment to making a difference in their local communities and the world at large. Becoming a Rotarian has numerous benefits that extend beyond professional networking.

Rotary enables members to make meaningful contributions by participating in service activities that improve the lives of those in need. Through these initiatives, members can gain insight into how different communities function and develop an appreciation for diversity and cultural awareness. Additionally, Rotarians are always encouraged to take on leadership roles within their clubs or outside organisations, which helps them expand their skill set as well as build their network.
