Story
For over 90 years, the Rotary Club of Erith has been spreading joy throughout the community at Christmas.
This wonderful tradition started as long ago as 1932 where Rotarians raised funds to provide Christmas Hampers for people in the local community. As time moved on, they and their family members took to the streets, singing carols accompanied simply by a harmonium on a barrow that was pulled from place to place. From these humble beginnings, just look where we are now! We have our wonderful sleigh which lights up not only the streets as it moves along them but also the faces of generations for whom Christmas simply wouldn't be the same without it! What's more, we have even persuaded Santa to join us!
What hasn't changed over those long years, is the determination of our club to support the people of our local area in any way we can. Thanks to the generosity of our local community, we have been able to support so many wonderful organisations - our Special Schools, Europa Gym Special Needs Groups, Smerdon Resource Centre, Bexley Women's Aid, Bexley Deaf Centre, Charlton Upbeats and our local Foodbank. With your help, we can do so much more!
Thank you for your support.
