Get Involved: Join Pwllheli Rotary

Are you looking for a way to make a difference in your community? Do you want to meet new people and develop your skills? If so, joining Pwllheli Rotary might be the perfect opportunity for you. We're a small group of people dedicated to volunteering in Pwllheli and across the Llŷn Peninsular.

What is Pwllheli Rotary?

Pwllheli Rotary is part of a global network of Rotary clubs. Founded in 1905, Rotary International aims to bring together business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian service and promote goodwill. The Pwllheli club, established in our local community, focuses on making a positive impact through various projects and initiatives.

Joining the Rotary Club means becoming part of a larger family. We offer a welcoming environment where everyone can contribute and learn from one another.

Why Join the Rotary Club?

Make a Difference

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a member of Pwllheli Rotary is the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives. The club engages in various community service projects, from litter picking to supporting local charities.

For example, we raise much need funds for the food bank, as well as enable local young people to build their skills and confidence through our Young Writers residential course and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award). These initiatives not only help those in need but also strengthen the community as a whole.

Build Lasting Friendships

When you join Rotary, you become part of a close-knit community. Members often form strong friendships that last a lifetime. Regular meetings and social events provide ample opportunities to connect with others who share similar values and interests.

We regularly enjoy a meal together or participate in fun activities, and we find that the friendships we develop in the club extend beyond Rotary activities, leading to a supportive network, particularly important in a largely rural environment.

Develop Your Skills

The Pwllheli Rotary offers numerous opportunities for personal and professional development. Members can take on leadership roles and organise events.

These experiences help build valuable skills such as public speaking, project management, and teamwork. So, whether you are looking to enhance your CV or simply grow as an individual, Rotary provides a supportive environment for learning and growth.

Engage in Fun Activities

Being part of the Rotary Club is not just about service; it is also about having fun! The club organises various social events throughout the year, including dinners, outings, and fundraisers.

These activities allow members to relax, enjoy each other's company, and celebrate their achievements. They're also a great way to meet new people and expand your social circle.

Connect with a Global Network

As a member of Pwllheli Rotary, you're also connected to a global network of Rotarians. With clubs in over 200 countries, you can meet fellow members from around the world.

This international connection opens doors to new friendships, cultural exchanges, and collaborative projects. You can participate in global initiatives that address pressing issues such as poverty, education, and health.

The Impact of Rotary

Pwllheli Rotary has made a significant impact on the local community. Through various projects, the club has supported education, health, and social welfare initiatives.

The club has partnered with local schools to support their environmental projects. We've also provided fully funded places on a residential week-long Writing Course that enables students to hone their skills whilst being mentored by professional writers. We also send a young person on a adventure every summer - RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) is a jam-packed week of challenging activities designed to enhance their leadership skills. From kayaking to abseiling, raft building to mountain climbing the young people who have attended return home more confident, resilient and ready to take on the world!
