Club News
Here’s a selection of recent Club news and updates from events from the last months.
A SOS Answered – April 2025
Recently The Club received a request for help from a local (Wolvershill, Banwell) Mum asking for a donating towards the replacement cost of equipment used to prepare food for her disabled child. Due to tube feeding constraints required by the child, food must be processed in such a way to allow passing through, not just the case of using your standard food processor!
The Club immediately decided that this was something it could support and started a conversation with the Mum. At the same time, The Club through with it contacts with another local service organisation (King Alfred Lodge, W-s-M) invited them to be part of the response to the call for help. Once again, the answer was immediate and positive.
The result was that in just 3 days between the two groups over £2250 was pledged to support Mum & child. Meaning additional items could be purchased to provide and support on-going care.
The Rotary Club will continue to maintain contact with Mum/child and to look at helping in the future where possible/requested.

Charity Quiz Night – March 2025
We did it again! Yet another successful event and very much enjoyed by everyone!!
This event was to support this year’s chosen charity of Freewheelers EVS (‘Blood Bikes’) with monies going to assist with their on-going operational costs, with it being fully funded by such donations.
This great event generated a £1300 surplus, by way of team entry, raffle & heads n’ tails. Monies which will be passed on to the charities in due course.
A big thank-you must go to all who took part on the night and to those who organised and ran the event that being the membership of Axbridge District Rotary as a whole – a great team effort.
