If that's what you think Rotary is, you've pretty much missed the mark by a long shot!

 

To begin with, it's one of the world’s most prestigious service organisations. 1.4 million strong. 46,000 clubs in over 200 countries, at the forefront of globally eradicating Polio - one of the most disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus.

​Rotary North East (District 1030 in Rotary-Speak!) is a community of people who believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We share one common goal of making our communities better while enjoying the friendships and experiences that come with it.
 

Across our 49 clubs, you'll find people of all ages, backgrounds and professions coming together to support local communities, tackle important causes and build lasting friendships. We work hard, give back and just as importantly, enjoy ourselves along the way. Together over the years, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities and community projects, supported young people, responded to emergencies and helped change lives both here in the North East and around the world.
 

Rotary today isn't what many people think it is. It's modern, welcoming and diverse. Whether you're looking to volunteer, develop new skills, meet inspiring people or simply make a positive impact, there's a place for you. So why not come and see what Rotary is really about? Drop into a meeting, have a chat and discover how you can make a difference and while making some great friends along the way.
