Highcliffe Rotary Club
The Rotary Club of Highcliffe-on-Sea contributes actively to community life through a range of service initiatives and fundraising efforts, supporting causes both locally and internationally. Established in 1977, the club operates as part of the global Rotary network, focusing on practical assistance and collaboration with other organisations.
Members engage in projects that address needs within the area, such as organising community gatherings and supporting educational programmes. The club has a history of involvement in local events that bring together various groups, promoting participation in sports, arts, and social activities. Fundraising forms a core part of its work, with proceeds directed towards charitable objects through its associated trust fund.
Youth development features prominently in the club’s activities. Partnerships with local schools include opportunities for students to gain practical experience in hospitality and presentation skills, fostering confidence and teamwork among young people.
International links add another dimension to the club’s efforts. Twinning with a Rotary club in France encourages exchanges and joint initiatives, broadening the scope of support beyond the immediate region.
Business partnerships play a role in sustaining these endeavours, providing resources that enable the club to maintain its programmes. Social events complement the service work, offering members occasions to build connections while planning further contributions.
The club welcomes participation from those interested in volunteering, with opportunities to assist on projects alongside regular gatherings.
