Rotary Club of Ashburton/Buckfastleigh Christmas Appeal.

Due to covid-19 we are unable to tour our towns with the Father Christmas Float this year! Instead, we are looking to raise funds via this site. Anything we raise will go towards supporting the youth of our communities and other local charities.

The Rotary Club of Ashburton/Buckfastleigh supports both local, national and international communities. Within the Ashburton and Buckfastleigh areas, we are much involved with supporting the youth clubs and related activities, as well as the Memory Cafe. Every penny raised with our fundraising goes directly to the charities concerned. Although as our name implies, we are based in the Ashburton/Buckfastleigh area our work covers much further afield including South Dartmoor and east towards Bovey Tracey and west towards South Brent. Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired men and women who give their time and talents to serve communities at home and overseas. Rotary is made up of over 1.2 million members in 34,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries. We are a happy Club of 20 men and women, of all backgrounds. We all contribute to various activities run by the Club to raise funds to alleviate the needs of others both locally and worldwide. This fundraising includes an annual Art Exhibition in Buckfast Abbey, a ‘come and sing’ concert also in the Abbey, a Father Christmas float and several other events. However, fundraising doesn't have to be 'just hard work' - we also believe in friendship and fun! We hold Quiz Nights, we visit interesting places both near and far, as well as enjoying the fellowship of our weekly meetings. Unfortunately, our fundraising is limited at the moment due to Covid-19 so all contributions are very welcome and will be put to good use.

Story

Every year at Christmas the Rotary Club of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh man the Christmas float and tour the towns of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh. They also appear at the Christmas markets and late-night shopping for the two towns. This year due to coronavirus we are unable to tour the towns and static displays will also be very limited. Most of the funds raised at Christmas goes to the youth of the two towns and local areas. At this difficult time, we also realise that other charities and organisations in the area are in need of help and we are in touch with many of them. Although unable to meet face to face the club has kept up weekly meetings on Zoom concentrating on the pressing needs of our community during this pandemic. Any support you are able to give will be greatly appreciated by very worthwhile causes throughout our area. Thank you.
