Have you booked your place on the Faversham Family Bike Ride on Sunday 8th May?

Join in this 12.5km ride in the beautiful countryside around Faversham.

All ages & abilities welcome. Ride on your own, with family or with friends.

There will be a stall in the Market Place this Saturday 30th April from 10am – 2pm where you can find out more.

Discover how you can make a difference for the charity of your choice or for Rotary’s chosen charity, Imago.

There’s lots more information, including how to register, at www.favershambikeride.org

The purple crocus are now in full bloom.

In a joint project with Faversham in Bloom they were planted in the border outside Age UK in Crescent Road last autumn.

FiB found the border and prepared the ground, Rotarians and FiB volunteers planted the corms.

FiB made a generous donation to Rotary’s Purple4Polio campaign which aims to eradicate polio worldwide through its immunisation programme.

Faversham Rotary, together with Rotary clubs worldwide, is supporting humanitarian relief operations for the people of Ukraine.

The Club emptied its Emergency Reserve Fund with an immediate donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Appeal.

Club members were in the Market Place on two Saturdays in March collecting donations for Ukrainian refugees. The total donated was over £1000. A huge “Thank you” to the people of Faversham for your generosity.

An additional collection at Macknade Food Hall in April raised a further £250 in donations from Macknade’s generous customers.

There will of course be a need for continuing support, both medium and long term, and the Club is working on future fund-raising ideas.
