 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!

The school round of the 2024/25 Rotary Young Chef Competition was hosted by West Somerset College and we are grateful to Vere Kennett of the college and the judges Richard Hands and Lewis Singletary for giving up their time to make the contest such a challenging but enjoyable experience for the young chefs. Rotary Club members were pleased to be able to help the Minehead Town Council led Minehead Victorian Christmas event run smoothly last night. It was great to see so many people out to enjoy the evening with lots of businesses staying open. There are more photos of the event on the Minehead Town Council website. Veronica, Brian and Iris of Minehead Lions Club and Mollie of Minehead Rotary Club spent a busy morning packing 26 parcels of Christmas presents for Young Carers attending three local schools. The gifts will be presented to the Young Carers by Rotary Club President Andrew de Mora in December. #christmasiscoming #workingtogether   Is your house at risk of flooding from surface water during or following bad weather? If you live in West Somerset we can now offer help with advice and the supply of items which can prevent or significantly reduce the impact of flood water. Thanks to grant funding the items are heavily subsidised and in most cases only a small donation is required as a contribution to help with re-ordering. For more information visit our Community Page  Today is World Polio Day, a time to reflect on the incredible progress that has been made towards the eradication of the awful disease. This morning some members of the club met to "Walk a Mile for Polio". It was a nice opportunity for some fellowship and to think about the work that still needs to be done to achieve the goal of completely defeating it. More photos on our Facebook Page #EndPolioNow #RotaryPeopleOfAction  We were very grateful for the opportunity to visit Shepton Mallet Rotary Club to tell them about our proposed project, working with Rotary Club of Ndola Central and others, to arrange to send two containers of wheelchairs and other disability aids to the Copperbelt area in Zambia. It is a project that will have a life changing impact for many many people, both children and adults. We are seeking support and pledges to raise sufficent funds to qualify for a Rotary Global Grant. We are happy to visit any clubs in Distrct 1200 that would be interested to find out more. Many thanks to all of the members for great hospitality and fellowship. #RotaryPeopleOfAction #TheMagicOfRotary #seekingsupport What better way to raise funds for Minehead & District Guide Dogs than to have a bracing run or a walk along our lovely seafront. More information and a link to book can be found here: https://www.mineheadrotaryclub.co.uk/santa.html #supportguidedogs #havefun  We were very pleased to be able to support Dan's amazing effort, which raised so much for Mind in Somerset. So many supporters! #supportmentalhealthawareness We are excited to have received a great completion report about the refurbishment of a borehole in a village in Uganda!
