Do you need funding for a local project?

Are you part of a local community group, charity or project doing great work — or an individual with an idea that could make a positive difference in our community?

Thanks to the profits raised through the Rustic Fayre, you can now apply for funding.

Full eligibility criteria and application details are available on our website: https://verwoodrotary.org.uk/apply-for-verwood-rotary-community-funding/

Applications must be made by end of Saturday 24 October.

Club members are delighted to announce that just over £12,500 was raised from our Rustic Fayre in August. This is a fantastic sum and we are very keen to start allocating this across local causes and organisations as well as the national and international Rotary projects we support. If you would like to nominate a local charity, group or organisation for a donation, don’t forget to submit an application form by 24th October. The form can be downloaded from our website www.verwoodrotary.org.uk or contact [email protected] if any queries.

Great morning of networking where we each shared a success story which helped us all understand each others businesses a little bit more.
Thank you Andy, AMPM Glazing for sharing some invaluable information re replacing windows and doors, sometimes if the budget isn’t there a repair is all that’s needed.
