About Us
Rotary Club of Uttoxeter
About Us
We are people of action.
Rotary is one of the world’s largest and most successful global membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.4 million members in over 200 countries.
At Uttoxeter Rotary we are all volunteers, we give of our time for free and every penny we raise is given to good causes, locally, in the UK and Internationally.
As Rotarians in Uttoxeter we all committed to supporting our International Charity, which has been responsible for some excellent work. Eradicating Polio in the world is our biggest pledge and we are almost there in our quest.
Our Focus
For the wider community.
Other areas of focus are:
- Supporting the environment
- Peace building and conflict prevention
- Disease prevention and treatment
- Water, sanitation and hygiene
- Maternal and child health
- Basic education and literacy
- Community economic development
These causes encompass some of the world’s most critical humanitarian needs and provide an opportunity for Rotary members to transform the world through volunteering and service projects.
Service & Friendship
Our Activities.
Members of Uttoxeter Rotary Club not only ‘Serve the Community’ but also enjoy great ‘Friendship’. This is a flavour of what we get up to.
Service.
This takes many forms, with Members taking on a variety of challenges.

At Christmas we tour the streets with Santa’s Sleigh and one very committed Father Christmas!
We collect perfectly good tents after the V Festival and the local Scouts and Cubs benefit.
Kirk House is a local Old Peoples Home. With the help of the Club they now they have a minibus, complete with tail lift for wheel chairs.
Friendship.
Whilst active in serving the Community, the Club Members do have time to enjoy themselves in a variety of ways.
