Rotary International is a global network of service volunteers of business and professional people that provide humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.
It is the world's largest service organisation for business and professional people, with approximately 1.2 million members operating in 166 countries world-wide.
There are some 58,000 Rotarians in Great Britain and Ireland in 1,845 clubs, helping those in need and working towards world understanding and peace. Its a fulfilling role, and Rotarians can get involved as much or as little as their time will allow.
But there is much more. Clubs meet on a regular basis, which allows members to build firm friendships. Every Rotarian has a right to attend any Club meeting anywhere in the world, so there is always somewhere to go, and people to meet, wherever business or leisure travel may take you.
Various Clubs have different emphases, which can reflect differences in size. A small market town may have a Club of perhaps 20 members, whereas in large centres the number can be closer to 100. Some concentrate on local community or vocational projects. Others link up with a sister club in another country to undertake an international project. Each Club decides how it wants to use the resources it has available.
At the Rotary Club of Golders Green we engage in a wide and varied mix of projects in the local community and beyond right through to internationally.
