WE'VE DONE IT!
Since 2007, The Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge has been awarding grants to charities, community projects and good causes from the funds we have raised each year. We are pleased to announce that with the funds raised from the 2023 Duck Race, this figure has now passed our £500K target!
Three quarters of these funds have gone to our local community where we have supported schools, community centres, sports and arts clubs, youth theatre groups, health support groups, hospices, disadvantaged children’s activities, facilities for the elderly, flood relief, the manufacture of COVID-19 PPE and much, much more.
To see exactly where these monies have been awarded, please click on the link below.
The Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge is part of Rotary International, a global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Our main events
Funds for grants and other activities come mainly from our two large annual events, the Duck Race and the Vintage Weekend. These are fun days out for all the family. This year one of our members is donating a number of his paintings as an art exhibition fundraiser, see below for details.
