Anyone with a mobile phone can now help Rotary International to help others by simply sending a Text Message.

By sending ROTARY followed by YOUR FIRST NAME and YOUR LAST NAME to 60999, you can send Rotary International £1.00.  Each Text Message costs £1.25 plus your network rate but the benefits to others are huge.

For every THREE TEXT MESSAGES we receive, we can provide ONE PERSON with 700 LITRES of PURE DRINKING WATER.

For every FIFTY TEXT MESSAGES we receive, we can provide a seriously handicapped person with ONE WHEELCHAIR.  OR we can use the same funds to PROVIDE A FAMILY with CLEAN DRINKING WATER for THREE MONTHS.

For every FIVE HUNDRED TEXT MESSAGES we receive, we can HOUSE A FAMILY OF 10 people stricken by disaster with a ShelterBox.  A ShelterBox provides all the basic essentials that most disasters strip away. 

Never before has such a simple gesture been able to impact someone's life so much.

Rotary International is a voluntary organisation and donations go directly to good causes.  We don't have any administration fees or wages to pay.  EVERY MESSAGE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

The rally car continued to draw the crowds.  Rob Davison and Stuart Green never tired of explaining to budding young rally drivers how the car had been adapted for its disabled driver.  However, the dream was not limited to the young and amongst those spotted in the driving seat were ADG Robin Mason and incoming District Governor Rolf Sperr!!!
