We have fun working together within teams on our various projects. If Rotary sounds like the organisation for you and you feel able to get involved or volunteer some of your precious spare time, we’d like to hear from you! Simply email our membership officer for an informal chat.

What is Rotary?

Rotary is one of the world’s leading membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.2 million members globally. Rotary was formed as a networking organisation and this still plays a part in Rotary life today. Rotary provides the opportunity to expand personal and professional circles, meet new people and make lasting friendships, all while having fun in the process. Founded on 90 years of activity in the town, we are part of Rotary International, with more than 33,000 Rotary Clubs across the world. There are some 50,000 members in over 1,750 Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland. We share a common vision for better communities and work together to achieve it. ​ With 60 members, we are the largest Rotary Club in Beds, Herts & Bucks. Rotary International supports worldwide programmes to reduce poverty, disease and inadequate living conditions. Rotary's global initiative to eradicate Polio has been very successful with only 2 countries left where it is still endemic. We actively support some very worthwhile overseas projects but the majority of our effort and fund raising is nonetheless devoted to charitable causes within our local community

Who are we?

We are a group of individuals from many walks of life. We normally meet on Tuesday evenings in Berkhamsted for a meal, usually with an interesting after dinner speaker; one meeting each month is devoted to planning and organising our activities. Charitable causes are supported via Berkhamsted Rotary Trust Fund CIO (UK reg charity No. 1182564). We recognise that time is at a premium for working people with family and work commitments, so our members attend whatever meetings work for them. We organise challenging competitions for schools and provide days out for the elderly and for disadvantaged young people. We organise events to raise money for local and overseas charities, such as our widely recognised Berkhamsted Half Marathon, the Town Fireworks and Santa’s Sleigh.

Your skills and experience could be invaluable in our drive to help communities at home and around the world. Consider volunteering your time and abilities. Yu will be helping to make people’s lives better. If you'd like to make a contribution there are many ways to get involved with Rotary: ​ you could join Rotary and open up a world of opportunities. you could donate to one of our Club's initiatives you could volunteer to speak at our Club about a cause which interests you teachers or students - you could take part in a Rotary Schools competition you could volunteer to help the Club in one of its initiatives, as a friend of Rotary.

Why sponsors and supporters are important Every community and fund raising event that we organise has associated costs; for instance the costs of putting on our Annual Fireworks display for the town typically exceeds £10,000. Even putting on on our annual Technology Tournament for young students costs in excess of £1,000.​ In recent years year our charity Trust Fund has typically managed to generate an annual net income of more than £40,000 which is then disbursed as donations to various charitable causes. We could not, however, achieve this without the generous support of sponsors ... both those who provide financial support and also those who support us in kind by providing essential services free of charge. Please see our Why not become a sponsor? Could you use a higher profile in Berkhamsted and the surrounding area?
