This year 370 children popped in to see Mrs Claus. All funds raised were donated to the Swan Youth Project. It’s then time for Santa to start his visits around the residential streets of the town. 19 local charities and organisations supported us this year to collect each night during December.

Over the last 5 years Berkhamsted Rotary has helped towards self-funding Potten End resident Martin’s expenses and helping
him realise his dream of representing his country at the Tokyo Paralympics. We have written to him to congratulate him on all
his hard work and determination which earned him a quarterfinal place.
Martin replied: ‘Yes , I’m always disappointed whenever I lose a game. More so when it’s at the biggest tournament of my life. However
eight weeks ago, I was 95% sure I wouldn’t make it to the Paralympics due to injury. I
couldn’t hit the shuttle hard. I was in so much pain. I travelled to Leeds , Manchester to
see specialist after specialist. I had Cortizone injections into the elbow that were
unsuccessful. With constant physio, rehab and huge desire, I managed somehow to turn it
around. That alone was a monumental achievement.
The Paralympics itself has been and unforgettable experience. I’ve played against the best
players in the world on the biggest stage in the world.
I can’t thank Rotary enough. I’m extremely grateful for your constant support throughout
my incredible journey.’

ROTARY CENTENARY CIVIC AWARD – 2021
WINNER – JOAN FISHER
The
Rotary
Centenary
Civic
Awards
were
instituted
in
2004
when
Rotary
celebrated
its
Centenary.
At
that
time
Berkhamsted
Town
Council
also
wanted
to
introduce
an
Annual
Civic
Award
to
recognise
the
work
of
those
unsung
heroes
in
our
community
who
contribute
so
much to our civic life – so we came together to set up these joint awards.
There
are
two
Awards
–
one
made
to
an
adult
and
one
to
a
young
person
of
18
years
or
under.
The
first
award
Award
was
made
in
2005.
Winners
names
are
engraved
on
the
shields
which are displayed on the wall of the Council Chamber in the Civic Centre.
This
year
we
are
recognising
JOAN
FISHER
with
the
Senior
Award,
but
because
of
the
interruptions
to
so
many
youth
activities
in
the
last
year,
a
Junior
Award
is
not
being
made.
Joan
has
made
outstanding
contributions
which
have
benefitted
many
people
in
our
Town.
Veterans Visit to National Memorial Arboretum -
7th September 2021.
The Rotary clubs of Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead jointly organized a trip for veterans to visit the NMA (National Memorial Arboretum). After several postponements due to COVID-19 this went ahead in September. 37 veterans signed up for the trip including a 98 year-old RAF aircraft crew, a 97 year-old Royal Marine, a 91 year-old Paratrooper and several WRAC ladies whose ages shall not be revealed.
Rotary Seniors Out trip to Waterperry Gardens 14th
September 2022
The Rotary Club of Berkhamsted with help from the Happy Wanderers, which is a local group that provide help for senior citizens, organised this years outing for senior citizens. This year the visit was to Waterperry Gardens. A Party of 32 Senior citizens, helpers and carers, as well as Rotarian and Inner Wheel helpers travelled by coach to the gardens. The coach left from Berkhamsted Sports Centre at 1pm. Waterperry Gardens were made famous by Beatrix Havergal who established her School of Horticulture for Ladies here from 1932 to 1971. It is now home to 8 acres of beautifully landscaped ornamental gardens, with a plant centre and garden shop, a gallery and gift shop, and a museum and tea shop. The day was helped by exceptionally warm and sunny weather throughout the afternoon. After exploring the beautiful gardens, we congregated in the Tea Rooms for a welcome “Cream Tea”. We departed from Waterperry at 4.40pm and after the coach driver managed to avoid numerous road closures, we arrived back in Berkhamsted. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all.

ABOUT US
Berkhamsted Rotary is founded on 80 years of Rotary activity in the town. We are a group of individuals from many walks of life and, with 54 members, we are one of the largest Rotary clubs in Beds, Bucks and Herts. We use our time and energy to support young people and to improve the lives of the elderly, vulnerable and disadvantaged both here and overseas. We organise charity events (such as our Half Marathon and Fireworks Night) to raise funds. Charitable causes are supported via the Berkhamsted Rotary Trust Fund CIO which is a UK Registered Charity No. 1182564. This year we are donating some £42,000 to support many worthwhile causes both at home and overseas. We work as a team and have a good time in the process. Friendships are developed through our club activities and also social events such as our monthly and annual walks. We normally meet for dinner each Tuesday, usually at Berkhamsted Town Hall in the centre of Berkhamsted, at 7:30 for 8:00 pm.Our 2022/2023 President, Paul Dubbins, explains how he became a Rotarian and what it
means to him.
This story is becoming a bit of an old aphorism. Move to Berkhamsted, seek out Rotary, find friends. We have been in Berkhamsted for only 6 years and I have been a member of the Rotary Club just over 4 of those. I had always thought that Rotary was a dining club for old men and it is true that a number of us have been around the block a few times…but a dining club..not really. The club is seeing an ever more diverse membership and exploiting the wider reach of social media to deliver our message, although perhaps not yet ready for TikTok! I have been amazed by the contribution the club makes to life within Berkhamsted; from the Fireworks to the Half Marathon, the Outdoor Concert to Santa’s sleigh, working with local schools to promote art, photography and public speaking, as well as working with local charities. We raise quite a lot of money for local, national and international charities, and you could ask why we do this? Altruism, a bit; “giving back” a hackneyed phrase but I guess so; but I think most of all it is to be involved with a group of people who really enjoy working with each other and sharing our enthusiasm with the whole of the community Berkhamsted is a great place, and, I think, all the better for the efforts of Rotary.…and yes, I have made new friends. I am honoured to serve as President for this year and look forward to meeting some of you at one or other of our many events

projects. If Rotary sounds like the organisation for you and

precious spare time, we’d like to hear from you! Simply email
our membership officer for an informal chat.
What is Rotary?
We are part of
Rotary International,
which comprises
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.
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 own 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.
However we
recognise that time
is at a premium for
working people
with family and
work commitments
... so our members
ensure that family
and work come first
by attending
whatever meetings
work for them.
We work with local
schools to organise
challenging
competitions for
students and
provide days out
for the elderly and
for disadvantaged
young people. We
organise events to
raise money for
local and overseas
charities.
Your skills and
experience could be
invaluable in our
drive to help
communities at
home and around
the world. Whether
you become a
member of Rotary or
volunteer your time
and abilities to your
local club, you 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
if you are a school
pupil, you could
take part in a
Rotary
competition
you could
volunteer to help
the Club in one of
its initiatives,
without becoming
a Rotary member

Volunteering Work with Rotary Changes Lives
Fund raising is, of course, an important part of our activities but equally helping implement community projects, such as running outings for the elderly and disabled or ferrying folk to visit family members in hospital is also what we do. Each year Berkhamsted Rotary manages lots of these community projects - and although we have 60 members, we still need the help of all those lovely people who come along and help us. As an example, on the day of our Half Marathon and Fun Run we need a team of some 200 stewards and marshals to ensure the safety of competitors and the general public; we can't do this on our own! So if you feel that you'd like to help out or if you have a special skill that might be of benefit to the community, please get in touch with us and maybe we can work out how you might volunteer in a way which suits your particular circumstances. You can contact us

Why sponsors and supporters are important
Nearly 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 £1000.
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. You can see our annual report to the Charity Commission here.
Why not become a sponsor?
Could you use a higher profile in Berkhamsted and the surrounding area? Would you and your staff enjoy working with us on
worthwhile, inspirational and fun projects that benefit the local community or contribute to humanitarian initiatives around the
world? Do you wish to put corporate social responsibility and sustainability as core values of your brand? If so, would you consider
supporting Berkhamsted Rotary?
By becoming a sponsor you can not only benefit really worthwhile causes, but we will ensure that your support receives the
recognition it deserves on our websites and in our social media and publicity material. We're particularly keen to establish working
partnerships with sponsors and to tap in to the skills and enthusiasm of your staff.

"We are proud to be associated with Berkhamsted Rotary's charitable activities. Our staff are very enthusiastic about getting
involved. It's good for our social media presence; this, and branding in leaflets and certificates, strengthens our corporate identity in
Berkhamsted and more widely."
"We at FFEI have been involved with Rotary’s Technology Tournament for a number of years. As one of Dacorum’s leading hi-tech
businesses, our continuing success relies upon an ability to recruit and develop employees who can tackle the complex technical
challenges that we face in our fast moving business environment.”
“We are a small family run business in Berkhamsted priding ourselves on providing good service to the town. We find our support
for Rotary events (the Half Marathon and Fun run and also the School Technology Tournament) is a great way to demonstrate
our commitment to the community."

Rotary's charitable activities. Our staff are very
enthusiastic about getting involved. It's good for our
social media presence; this, and branding in leaflets and
certificates, strengthens our corporate identity in
Berkhamsted and more widely."
"We at FFEI have been involved with Rotary’s Technology
Tournament for a number of years. As one of Dacorum’s
leading hi-tech businesses, our continuing success relies
upon an ability to recruit and develop employees who
can tackle the complex technical challenges that we face
in our fast moving business environment.”
“We are a small family run business in Berkhamsted
priding ourselves on providing good service to the town.
We find our support for Rotary events (the Half
Marathon and Fun run and also the School Technology
Tournament) is a great way to demonstrate our
commitment to the community."
