Our Committee is always seeking new ways to help the local community. We have various events throughout the year which we have organised in the past and will continue to do so. The Royston Kite Festival This is our main annual fund-raiser which raises thousands of pounds for charity and also provides a service to the community. It has its own website – roystonkitefestival.com The Memory Café Meeting at the Coombes Community Centre once a month for those with memory loss and their carers, this is a totally free event. Tea, coffee, biscuits are provided with something of interest to stimulate memory. More information here. KidsOut We help organise this annual event for disadvantaged children in partnership with other Rotary Clubs. Children in Need Each year we arrange the Children in Need Collection in Royston and we will take a view if asked to provide help with other collections during the year. Royston Community Breakfast Meeting on the second Friday of the month for those involved in the local community in a professional, charitable or voluntary capacity to get together to exchange ideas and give support to one another. More information here. Swimathon An annual event held at the Royston Leisure Centre to raise funds in a fun way for both the participant’s chosen charity and Rotary’s charity. More information here. Christmas round the villages and in Royston We put up decorations at two care homes, participate with collections round the area with Santa’s sleigh and help Santa in his garden centre grotto. Ukraine Refugees We aim to bring together all those Ukrainians and their families who have been given accommodation in various parts of our community to help them feel less isolated.
