Rotary is at the heart of every community. Wherever there is a town or a city, there is a Rotary club and members are passionate about the communities in which they live and work. This is very much the way our members feel about our community of Sherborne, and as a community which has many schools, much of what we do in the town centres around young people.
Thankfully for most of us travelling to work, school or to the shops is an uneventful journey, but children crossing the Milo River in the rainy season to get to school have been risking their lives for years. In 2011 alone, four children died trying to cross the stream, which becomes a fast flowing river in the rainy season.
We are People of Action - Sherborne Castles Rotary Club is rooted within our own community, but with a global outlook, ready to tackle challenges at home and abroad.
