A current focus for the club is the giving of grants to local charities and organisations which operate in or within about 15 miles of Ludlow through its ‘Ludlow Rotary Cares’ support scheme. Over the past ten years the club has been able to give £50,000 to over 100 local community projects.

Each year the club sponsors youngsters who might benefit from what is regarded as one of the most successful youth schemes run by Rotary. It offers a fun yet intensive five-day training programme for young people, both boys and girls, aimed at nurturing and encouraging leadership and communication skills and giving participants a head start at an early age.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. For more information and to donate go to www.endpolio.org
Serving our community – Rotary is primarily a service organisation, so we spend a lot of time helping other organisations and groups. These include helping at the Ludlow Spring Festival and the Food Festival in September. We also help at the Ludlow Magna Longa Walk and Ludlow College students with mock interviews. In 2025/26 we intend to expand our service locally which we hope will include some of the groups listed above and also the Ludlow Food Bank and Hands Together Ludlow.
From 2017 to its formal handover in November 2022 the Club were the driving force behind a project to build a new school building and toilet block for the Msasani Primary School in Tanzania. The project was partly funded by a grant from Rotary International. For the whole story please click here.
