Charities This Year 2010-2011
Derby Mountain Rescue
We are delighted to support Derby Mountain Rescue as our main local charity this year. This organisation has provided search and rescue services to the people of Derbyshire since 1964. As well as fundrasing for them, our club will help at the Cathedral Abseil in the Autumn. Indeed some may wish to join our President, Nicky Smith, in the descent down the tower!
New Futures Nepal
Our overseas charity help disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal. Their current need is to raise £100k to build a permanent home in Kalimpong, northern India, for orphaned Nepalese children and we want to help them in achieving that goal.
End Polio Now
We will also continue to support the End Polio Now campaign and work with the other Derby Rotary clubs to raise public awareness of Rotary International's pivotal role in the eradication of polio worldwide.
