Community

We do lots of work in the community

We are working with other Rotary Clubs in the Reading area to help relieve the suffering and hardship caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Our Club Rotarians are still volunteering for sessions at the Covid Vaccination Centre in Lower Earley.  This has been a continuous activity for 2 years now and is just one part of the support we give to our community.

In addition to helping the Link Visiting charity, Berkshire Vision and the Reading Association for the Blind with friendly telephone calls to vulnerable people, we are buying much-needed food every month for Woodley Food Bank, for CIRDIC (Churches in Reading Drop- in Centre) and Wycliffe Church Food Share project.  The level of our support has been maintained at a lower level than during the pandemic peak but is still vital with the current inflation rate and the fuel price increases that affect the most vulnerable.

This year we have also planted 400 young trees at JAC (Just Around the Corner) and have spent several days at Camp Mohawk gardening and tidying the outdoor space at this fabulous facility for children with Autism and special needs.

If you would like to help us raise funds for our work in the community, your donation will be very welcome. You might even have some time to spare to work alongside us?  Get in touch if you want to do your bit.
