Sadly, A&S Rotary are unable to hold their usual Christmas Collections, for the first time in 17 years, around the streets of Addiscombe and Shirley this year owing to the current Covid-19 situation.

Normally, our Christmas Collections would be our main fundraiser for the year. In the past, many residents have generously donated, knowing that their money goes to charities such as St Christopher's Hospice, Shirley Neighbourhood Care, Addiscombe Neighbourhood Care, Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, Prostate Cancer, Ryan Multiple Sclerosis Centre and CRISIS, to name but a few. For all charities, this year has been a particularly difficult one, given that many fundraising activities have had to be cancelled, just like our own Christmas Collections.

Although this is a difficult time for many, we have set up this JustGiving page for donations, should you be able to do this. Donations will continue to be accepted until 12th January 2021.

For further information on what we do, please visit our website www.aandsrotary.org

We wish everyone the best Christmas in the current circumstances, with hopes for good health, peace and prosperity for 2021.
