Banbury Rotary Club

People of Action Helping Communities

Making a difference to Communities

Rotary is one of the world’s largest and most successful global membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.2 million members in 35,000 clubs in over 200 countries.
We have a unique position of being rooted within our own communities, but with a global outlook, ready to tackle challenges at home and abroad.
We are People of Action, ready to turn our ideas and vision into lasting change, by creating opportunities and supporting those who need it most.

Local

Our activities are hugely varied. Much is with schools, charities and other organisations in and around Banbury. Our ‘can-do’ support literally extends from nursery to hospice and everything between!

National

We also link into the Thames Valley district and national Great Britain and Ireland Rotary networks offering opportunities to contribute to projects at regional and national level for those who so choose.

International

We support numerous Banbury based international projects and regularly engage with other European Rotary Clubs. Additionally we contribute to Global Rotary projects. The key ‘focus areas’ we support are outlined below.

Supporting Young People

With the cooperation of local schools, colleges and clubs we offer a wide range of activities for young people – ranging fom support for individuals through to activities with several hundred participants.

Supporting Communities

Members find themselves engaged in a diverse range of projects from planting crocuses to brighten up local areas or supporting local food-banks right through to hands-on establishment of schools in Africa and India.

Supporting Each Other

We believe Rotary works best when it offers members a supportive atmosphere of real friendship. There are frequent member events you can attend or maybe help organise.

Collections for Local Charities

Our collections have had to adapt to the pandemic but despite the challenge we are still doing our best to support local charities.

Assisting the vaccine roll-out

Cancelled community events have given way to assisting in activities such as responding to the PPE crisis or helping with the vaccination roll-out.

Young Photographer

We’ve had to cancel events normally engaging several hundred young people but have created alternatives the most recent one being Young Photographer. Get snapping for the 2021/2 competition.
