SHELTERBOX
On 26th June 2025 we were delighted to welcome Rotarian Stephen Woodcock who is just coming to the end of his presidency of the Rotary Club of Normanton.
Stephen gave the members a very interesting talk about Shelterbox, a charity formed by Rotarians to provide immediate assistance in times of crisis around the world. He is the district co-ordinator for Rotary District 1040 of which we are part. In the year to 31st June 2025 the club has donated £500 to help them in their work.
The Rotary Club of Wakefield has linked up with Unity Lottery. Please consider taking part if you are over 18. There are some large prizes to be won and half of all stakes are sent directly to our charitable trust fund. From £1 per week.
