We want to help you. The Rotary Club of Faversham Trust Fund is looking to assist local not-for-profit organisations who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Rotary Club of Faversham is one of 34,000 clubs worldwide in more than 200 countries and geographical regions. Rotary’s 1.25 million members share the common objectives of fostering high moral standards in business and the professions whilst, at the same time, initiating and supporting community service projects locally, nationally and internationally.
Rotary is also about fellowship. The regular weekly meetings held by the Rotary Club of Faversham provide an opportunity for members to enjoy each other’s company and to develop social relationships. Speakers are regularly invited to introduce a topic of interest for the members and provide the opportunity for lively discussions. We also have a vibrant programme of social and service projects, events and activities, such as...

HAND OVER OF PRESIDENTS
Monday 29th June saw the end of the Rotary year and with it came the traditional hand over of presidents. With the Covid 19 lockdown still in force, this had to be a virtual hand over but outgoing President Alan Hopkins did somehow manage to smuggle the chain of office across to the new President, Michael Hoey. We will of course re-create the scene for a photocall once we all come out of isolation and re-meet in person.
ZOOM QUIZ NIGHT RAISES £774 FOR THE COVID 19 RELIEF FUND
We held a really enjoyable Zoom Quiz Night last night hosted by Duncan and Rachel with the aim of raising at least £500 for our Covid 19 Relief Fund. Despite some rather sticky questions over 6 cerebrally challenging rounds (particulalry the one on sport) we all did rather well. The main goal of the evening was more than achieved with a magnificent £774 raised through Just Giving. Many thanks to everyone for their contributions.
SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY - SUPPORTING THE PHYSIC GARDEN AND SCOUTS
The Club met on Monday at is regular time - but virtuallly on Zoom - for its AGM and to discuss support for several projects within Faversham. Pictured right is the Club voting to buy a Zoom licence for the Physic Garden in order that they can stay in contact with their vulnerable supporters; we additionally voted match funding up to £300 to the Faversham Scouts fundraising appeal.
Interested in Joining?
We are looking for men and women of all ages and backgrounds to join; to use some of their time, talents, professional skills and energy to improve the lives of people in the local community and around the world.
