Community Service

Community Service Objectives and Recent Events.

The Committee has the responsibility for raising monies necessary to continue SWF Rotary Club’s efforts to benefit the town and to make charitable donations. The working parameters, for determining the recommendations to be made to the Club, continue to focus, principally, on the needs of the Town and close environs and to recognise smaller Charities nearer to home which do not have the wider geographical spread and money raising opportunities of the larger. Each request to the Club, for a donation or practical support, is carefully considered.

We intend, where possible, to repeat our successful principal events of the Rotary year- our Sleigh bringing Santa to the children and not so young of SWF; Trees of Joy collecting a considerable number of Toys and Books for children up to the age of twelve who otherwise would have little to look forward to at Xmas;  and our Swimarathon, this year raising monies for the Mid and South Essex Hospitals Dandelion Appeal (which Charity funds support and enhance end-of-life care provided at Basildon; Broomfield and Southend Hospitals) and school and club organisations.

We have led or assisted in a range of activities within our objectives:- feeding the disadvantaged and  needy of SWF through the FoodBank; working with the Town Council, Village Hall Management Committee and schools at Fayres and events; with school children, planting Crocus Corms as part of Rotary's mission to eradicate Polio throughout the world; and assisting with “Wellbeing Garden" at Meadowcroft Nurseries.

 If you would like to consider joining, as a Rotarian, a fun loving club of men and women who wish to give whatever service they are able or to become a "Friend of Rotary" please follow the “Contact Us” link on this website.
