Sutton Lower School RotaKids Club

RotaKids is becoming a great hit in Primary Schools across Great Britain and Ireland and a database of Rotakids Clubs has now been set up by Rotary International in Britain and Ireland (RIBI).

Photograph: See text for explanation. Click to enlarge image.The small village school in Sutton, near Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, has a thriving RotaKids Club which was presented with its charter by District 1070 Governor Linda May on 17th November, 2011. This is the first club to receive the new RIBI Charter Certificate.

For their first project the club is asking the local community to collect unwanted buttons and zips for a Trade Aid Box for a seamstress/tailor. This is one of 7 different boxes organised by the Rotary Club of Grantham Kesteven. Each box contains specially selected supplies needed to provide people with a head start in recovering from a disaster, or other adversity, or to start working for themselves for the first time.

The photograph shows District Governor Linda May with the president of the Sutton Lower School RotaKids Club, along with the vice president, treasurer and secretary and the President of the Biggleswade Ivel Rotary Club, Tony Sharp.
