There's a new Minehead Rotary Club fundraising event for 2025!
We'd also love to hear from anyone who might be able to help by doing some simple face painting before the start each morning. Snazaroo have kindly agreed to support us by donating some paints - we just need some painters!
Unfortunately the Minehead Rotary Club Facebook Page has been suspended by Meta so we can't post there for the time being.
Please email richardrobbins.rotary@gmail.com if you can help.

This delivery happily coincided with a visit to the Club by the 9210 District Governor Tom Kamwendo who visited the school with them. They also took the opportunity to plant a tree.

Minehead Rotary recently came together for two vital missions, packing Water Survival Boxes to provide life-saving aid to disaster-affected communities. On the 30th January we were honoured to be joined by the High Sheriff of Somerset, Rob Buckley, who witnessed firsthand the impact of this incredible initiative.
Rotarians and partners John, Doreen, Steffi, Ros, Gail, and Andrew, along with other dedicated volunteers, worked tirelessly to assemble an impressive 60 Water Survval Boxes in just two hours. Another Minehead team of Richard Williams, Mollie, Veronica, Richard Perry and wife Wendy, and Richard Robbins  packed a further 60 boxes on the 11th February.
These essential kits will soon be sent to regions devastated by natural disasters and humanitarian crises, providing clean drinking water and vital survival supplies to families in urgent need. Each Water Survival Box contains a high-performance filtration pump capable of turning contaminated water into safe drinking water. In addition, the boxes include essential household and hygiene items—such as basic tools and cooking equipment, helping families begin the process of rebuilding their lives. These life-saving resources are distributed gobally in partnership with humanitarian agencies responding to emergencies.
Rob Buckley’s visit was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the dedication and teamwork behind this initiative while highlighting the critical role Rotary plays in supporting communities locally and worldwide. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this incredible effort!
If you’d like to learn more about the project or explore ways to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Club has enjoyed a long releationship with the Northfield Hotel in Minehead, holding our meetings and being fed there twice a month. Following a great deal of discussion it was agreed that it was time for a change and, having held a couple of celebration dinners at  Foxes Hotel , that was the obvious choice.

We helped our friends at the Minehead & District Guide Dogs Fundraising Group with their annual Santa Fun Run on Sunday morning. The weather forecast in the run up to the weekend wasn't great, which affected the number of participants, but they still raised over £500!
The Guide Dogs volunteers turned out in force and we were pleased to be able to help. A great team effort!
