 On Friday, 12th June Hull Kingston Rovers and Rugby League Legend, Roger Millward MBE officially opened The Rotary Youth Centre at Craven Park - a project that demonstrates the true value of partnership - Hull KR donated the area under the East stand in which the centre is located whilst Rotary donated £115,000 from the RIBI Flood Relief Fund. The Hull KR Education and Sport Trust will be responsible for the day to day operations now that the centre is open. Rotary's flood relief fund was set up as a direct response to the June 2007 floods which devastated many areas of District 1270. To date over £640,866 was given to projects within the District. The donation towards this project is the largest single payment granted by the Committee. Allan Jagger who was RIBI President at the time of the floods visited Hull to meet with key individuals and what help was needed. Allan states “I witnessed at first hand the devastation caused by the extensive flooding in June 2007. Rotarians were quick to assist the emergency service in helping those affected. Since then over £1.25 million has been raised by Rotary, every penny spent in establishing sustainable projects for communities here in Yorkshire and around the UK.

 On Saturday, 6th June, members of the Barton Youth Centre braved the winds to link the two Humber Bridge Towers with a long paper chain to raise funds to send Rotary Lifestraws to a remote area in Colombia.
The members of the youth club wanted to thank the Rotary Club of Barton Upon Humber for their trip to Eden Camp which could not have taken place without their financial support. Project Youth Worker, Pat Sutch explained “Barton Rotary Club has always helped the Barton Youth Centre by giving money for special events and trips that we have done. Every year we do something for charity so this year we thought we would return the favour and help to do something for them” Members of the Rotary Club of Barton Upon Humber visited the Youth Club to talk about Lifestraws and how they help to save the lives of people in areas where there is little or no clean drinking water. They were inspired by the fact that many of those who die are children and wanted to help. |
