As a Club we know that many good causes have found it difficult to raise funds during the current public health situation. One such cause is the Hillfields Animal Sanctuary in Blackwell run by Lynne Tudor, who has worked tirelessly for many years to rescue animals including injured wildlife. The overheads incurred in running such a sanctuary continue, and we have become aware that repairs are needed to fences and sheds. Our Club is very pleased to be able to support the ongoing work of the Sanctuary with a donation of £500.

Following a visit by several members of our Rotary Club to Bromsgrove Cricket Club on 29 April we are very pleased to share a picture of the newly installed electronic scoreboard at the ground which in part has been funded by the Rotary Club.

We are thankful for the generosity of Rotarian Faisal Sharif who has donated and delivered 500 PPE masks to the Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove.

Our Club is pleased to be collaborating with the Rotary Club of Uttara in Bangladesh to sponsor the construction of a number of family latrines. Our involvement is being led by Rotarians Faisal Sharif and Ton Roosenboom. It is hoped that the project will grow if the initial construction and installation targets are met.

Our Rotary Club is pleased to support Bromsgrove Cricket Club with a donation of £1000 towards the cost of an electronic scoreboard. The Club has been an integral part of Bromsgrove since 1842 and is situated at St Godwald’s Road in Aston Fields in Bromsgrove and offers cricket at all levels to men and women, boys and girls. The Club has a large junior membership of both boys and girls.

The new laptops donated by the Rotary Club of Bromsgrove have arrived and are in use to support students in our two local secondary schools.

We were delighted to welcome new Rotarian and Club member Jonathan Friend at our meeting held on 9 March. Congratulations to him on his commitment!

We are delighted to support St Godwald’s Church in Bromsgrove with a donation of £600 to provide a sign for its churchyard.

The Rotary Club of Bromsgrove is delighted to be partnering with North and South Bromsgrove High Schools to support student learning in and outside the classroom. Our Club is delighted to fund the purchase of 20 laptops for North Bromsgrove and 10 laptops for South Bromsgrove to increase their IT provision which will ensure that students are able to fully exploit learning opportunities in all their subjects.
