Pictures from Events taken throughout 2025

We have now delivered the final 80 of the 2,000 frozen microwaveable meals for this year. This delivery was to Share Wokingham at Norrey's Church. The photos show Rotarians Graham and Scott with Claire Revie and Carolyn Wildman from SHARE holding up the total food delivery of the current programme. Over the past 3 years we have delivered 7000 meals. Many of our members helped with deliveries to food share organisations in the local area (see the additional photos).

At a meeting of the Winnersh Primary RotaKids Club, Candice Botha from the Cowshed spoke to the 26 children present and explained what the charity does and how they obtain funding.  She showed some hand sown bags containing children's clothes, toys, and games.  The Rotakids are now planning a fund-raising event to support the Cowshed. In the photo the children's teacher Carrie-Ann Emslie (left) with Candice next to her and Rotarians Alan Howe and John Ellis who support the club.
