The Rotary Club

OUR WORK
Banstead Rotary Club has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years for charity, without our members taking a penny for ourselves. We give back to the community, both local and international - and we'd love to have you along.
We support and work in partnership with a wide range of charities and projects at a local and national level. By combining our skills, time and resources, we are able to successfully deliver local and national campaigns which have a positive impact in our communities.
We're preparing a variety of community service and fund-raising projects.
Rotary gives everything to charity and we are careful to see that the money we raise goes to the people who need it. The money from our Christmas collections goes to local charities, and we also do fundraising for the third world throughout the year e.g. sending Shelter Boxes to places like the Philippines after disasters, so peoples’ lives will be changed for the better. If you want to give money to charity you can be sure if you do it via Rotary none of the money goes into members’ pockets and we pass every penny raised to local charities. We try to ensure that the money gets to people who really need it!

Just take a look at our list of members and committees HERE!
There are many ways to get involved with Rotary:
-
You could join your local Rotary and open up a world of opportunities

You could donate to a club or Rotary initiative
-
You could volunteer to speak at a club about a cause or interest
-
If you are a school pupil, you could take part in a Rotary competition
-
You could volunteer to help the club in one of its initiatives, without becoming a Rotary member
If Rotary sounds like the organisation for you and you feel like volunteering some of your spare time, we’d like to hear from you!
Please contact us HERE to discuss your interest with a view to meeting up with local Rotarians at the Banstead Club - attending one of our speaker evenings or social events is a great way for you to get the measure of Rotary and for the club to get to know you.

President John Hannam 1951- 2022
We are so very sad that John has now left us and we know that you will be feeling his loss so terribly.
Words cannot express just how deeply one is affected by the death of a close family member so it is perhaps appropriate to think about the good times and those happy occasions where we all can share in the memories.
Although John had been in Rotary since 1987, we have only really come to know him since I joined the Banstead Club in 2008. He was always very welcoming with his special brand of humour and his love and deep knowledge of the motor trading industry (not to forget his experiences of the frustrating parking arrangements in the Benhill Road area of Sutton).

Corporate
Membership
A Corporate membership allows Rotary clubs to involve a corporation in Rotary by offering an alternative membership package to local companies and some of its employees.
Corporate memberships give local businesses the chance to give back to the community while developing their employees’ personal and professional skills through Rotary.
The corporation itself cannot be a club – only people can be members of a Rotary club. The club offers corporate membership to individuals based on their employment at a corporation. Usually the prime member is at senior management level and can put forward employees to join the scheme.
The flexibility this type of membership offers is more affordable and requires a smaller time commitment. It will enhance your employee’s invaluable opportunities for taking on leadership roles while providing networking opportunities and mentoring.
Your company will want to add Rotary membership to your profile because you recognise Rotary’s reputation for combining business networking with community service. This type of membership allows you to learn about the needs of your community while experiencing the satisfaction of knowing you are helping others.
If you use Amazon, please consider following the link below to set up Smile Amazon which will donate 0.5% of your purchases to Rotary Club of Banstead Trust Fund. Select Rotary Club of Banstead as your chosen charity and always start you Amazon through Smile Amazon. It is the same Amazon site but with a donation being made. Please let you friends have the link and we should soon begin to benefit.
