The Rotary Club of Camberley

Charitable Organisation

The Rotary Club of Camberley, founded in 1945, is open for membership to men and women in business, management or professional positions who live or work within the borough or its immediate surroundings. As a charitable organisation, It covers the Surrey Heath area and includes Camberley, Frimley, Bagshot and Lightwater. However, such is the high reputation of the charity for the friendliness of its members, the enjoyment of its weekly meetings and for the considerable amount of charitable service, it provides charitable care to the local community, that many of its members come from places outside this immediate area, all donate their time to the charity.

The charity  was delighted that Their Royal Highnesses The Earl & Countess of Wessex accepted the invitation to become Honory Members of the club and they have shown considerable support and interest for the objectives of Rotary in general and the Camberley club in particular.

The Club meets weekly to either listen to a speaker or to plan and discuss the ongoing programme of help, care and charitable  fundraising.

As a local Charity, the club has always taken great pride in the support that it gives to the local community. As an example, for the local schools we provide practice interviews for students to enable them to improve their interview techniques; an art competition to allow the students to display their work in the central library; the Youth Speaks public speaking competition held in the Town Hall council chamber.

Over the years the Rotary Club of Camberley has acted as the leader or catalyst for many innovations, charitable donations and local charitable activities.

As examples, for the local community we have:

• Founded the Kingsclear Old Folks Home  
• Formed the Camberley International Club
• Funded and provided the original Senior Citizens Tea Room in the town centre
• Chaired the Frimley Park Hospital Hydrotherapy Pool Appeal
• Provided equipment for the Ophthalmic Unit
• Initiated and helped fund the PATRIC patient resource and information centre in Frimley Park Hospital – the first such centre in the UK
• Renovated the playground equipment at the Frimley Children’s Centre
   

We are proud to be associated with Rotary’s major international project, Polio Plus, which aims to eliminate Polio from the world in the near future
