The Rotary Club of Woodbridge is part of District 1080. It raises money for a wide range of good causes Internationally and Locally through fund raising events such as our annual carol service, golf days, Santa Claus at Notcutts garden centre, an annual lecture, regular street collections as well as specific projects such as tennis tournaments, sale of christmas cards, and this year a Recipe Calendar in 3 languages. Visit our site The Trust Fund provides urgent financial help and support for International Disasters through organisations such as Shelter box trust, as well as infrastructure and other projects including the building of water wells in Zambia as part of a district initiative, Friends of the Banyan Tree in India, Eat2Live, Filastraw and Mercy Ships. Locally we support numerous charities including The Rockford Trust, East Anglian Childrens Hospice, CLIC/Sargent. Our club has informal but strong links with Rotary in Madeira and the Flood Disaster in February in Funchal prompted us to set up this JustGiving page with a specific endeavour to help to raise money for the victims who have suffered a major loss and have no insurance or other means of financial help.
