For the fourth year, the Ludlow Rotary Club held Ludlow Rotary Cares.\u00a0 Resulting from the success of its major fundraising activity during this year, Ludlow Fun Dog Day, in addition to its three major charities, the club has been able to distribute more than five thousand pounds to local community groups and organisations. Since the inception of Ludlow Rotary Cares, the club has distributed over twenty thousand pounds to around forty organisations in Ludlow and neighbouring villages.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
This year the club invited applications for awards of upto five hundred pounds for specific projects. The response was excellent and fourteen were chosen from around twenty five. In keeping with its objective to support local activities, the club selected projects benefiting communities, young people and the disadvantaged.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All the recipients were invited to an evening at the Ludlow Mascall Centre, to explain briefly to the panel and the audience about their organisations and what particularly the award would enable them to achieve.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Th<\/span>e membership of the panel was Nicky Kershaw – Deputy Lieutenant of Shropshire, Ollie Worthington- manager of TESCO Ludlow, Clive Leworthy – Community Council of Shropshire and three members of the Rotary club. We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Ludlow, Tim Gill and the Deputy Mayor, Colin Sheward.<\/span><\/div>\n

At the end of the event, the Deputy Lieutenant said “the range and breadth of voluntary activity in South Shropshire was truly amazing, and was an example of how so much could be achieved in our communities.\u00a0 \u00a0Its benefits were significant and tangible.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"cid:image001.png@01CFA699.A77D5650\"This is just a quick note to thank you and the rest of the Rotarians for organising the presentation night last Tuesday and for the kind donation to our funds.<\/p>\n

Jade and I really enjoyed the evening, hearing from all the \u00a0representatives of the other local charities. It was fascinating to learn of all the other good work being carried out in the area.<\/p>\n

We were delighted to be awarded the donation of \u00a3300.00 which will be used to buy gifts for Santa to give out to the local children at our Christmas Lights Switch-on on November 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

If you would like to visit the Centre sometime, I would be very happy to give you a tour round and show you some of the wonderful things which are happening here.\u00a0Kind regards<\/p>\n

Young Shropshire in Work –\u00a0<\/strong>Just to give you a brief update on how Young Shropshire in Work has used the funding from the Rotary.\u00a0We developed an employability course for young people who were living in or around Ludlow, however the course that we marketed for November 2018 did not have enough young people, we had a number of young people who were interested but who dropped out close to the time of delivery. However we have been developing work tasters through a local employer and they are ready to be \u2018tested\u2019 when we have young people ready to take up the offers. In January 2018 we delivered a workshop to vocational students at County Training on a study programme course (those young people who were not going to take on additional formal academic courses and were looking for work. This course was received positively by staff and students. Formal feedback included :<\/p>\n
