Since 2007, The Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge has been awarding grants to charities, community projects and good causes from the funds we have raised each year. We are pleased to announce that this figure has now passed well beyond £500K and we are heading towards our next target - £1,000,000!

About three quarters of these funds have gone to our local community where we have supported schools, community centres, sports and arts clubs, youth theatre groups, health support groups, hospices, disadvantaged children’s activities, facilities for the elderly, flood relief, the manufacture of COVID-19 PPE and much, much more.

We also support national and international humanitarian causes such as Shelterbox (rapid response aid following natural disasters) and Polio Plus (the Rotary initiated drive to eradicate Polio worldwide).

We help in other ways too, by providing volunteer help at community events such as Light up the Valley and the Pumpkin Trail and providing voluntary stewards at events such as the Brass Band Competition.

Click the Recent Grants and Activities button, below, or the tab at the top of this page, to see much more about the 30+ charities and organisations we have helped in the past year and details about their activities. None of this would be possible without the support of the people who support our fund-raising events. Thank you, to all of you who have contributed!
