What Our Members Say
Hear from our members about their Rotary journey and the impact it has had on their lives and our community.
Andy O'Neill
Rotary Member
"I joined Rotary because I was looking for an opportunity to assist the community both locally and nationally. My desire to help others is built on the 4 Way Test: Truthfulness, Fairness, Goodwill and Friendship – and ensuring that what we do is beneficial for all concerned. Using these principles, Rotary has given me friendship and satisfaction with a desire to help others less fortunate."
Jamie Harwood
Rotary Member
"I originally joined Rotary to meet new people in and around Mickleton and, as I retired early, to find some purpose which has real benefits to local kids, charities and organisations. Rotary has given me that and more – from learning new skills and organising the new website to meeting a wide range of interesting and creative people with decades of experience between them."

The Impact of Service
Our members come from all walks of life, but they share a common bond: the desire to make a meaningful difference. Whether it's supporting local charities, helping kids in our community, or contributing to international causes, every Rotarian plays a vital role in creating positive change.
As our members discovered, Rotary offers far more than just the opportunity to give back. It's about finding purpose, building lasting friendships, and being part of something bigger than yourself. It's about the 4 Way Test guiding our actions and the genuine satisfaction that comes from knowing we're making the world a better place.
