The Wilberforce 2007 Committee enthusiastically adopted the And Albert/Rotary Big Phone Drop-In and Kayesa Youth Centre Project as Wilberforce 2007 events.

Two Rotary Clubs in District 1270 have risen to the challenge to help "Stop the Trafficking" and they are asking all Rotarians to support them. Why? Because in 2007 some 200 years after the abolition of slavery there are more people in slavery than there were 200 years ago!

RC of Holderness together with the local Rotary Club and the Salvation Army is supporting the Kayesa Youth Centre project. The centre, located on the Malawi/Zambia border will provide temporary accommodation, counselling, care and protective services to help restore the hope of the victims of child trafficking in Malawi.

RC Lincoln Colonia are fund raising with a difference.

The Great Santa Fun Run will takes place on 17 December around the Bailgate area of Lincoln, starting and finishing in Castle Square. The Club are hoping to attract up to 500 participants.

By organizing the event, the Club two local charities will benefit - The Lincolnshire Air Ambulance and St Barnabas Hospice. They hope to raise several thousand pounds for these two worthwhile causes, and because it is organized by Rotary ALL the money raised will be going to the two charities without any deductions whatsoever.

Each entrant will receive a Santa Suit and upon successful completion of the five km route, a medal. All participants who raise more than £25 through personal sponsorship for these two charities will also receive a commemorative tee shirt for their efforts
