About the Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge
Since 2007 The Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge has given grants of nearly £470K to charities, community projects and good causes.
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, youth and disadvantage children’s activities, facilities for the elderly, flood relief, the manufacture of COVID-19 PPE and much, much more.
Our main events
Funds for grants and other activities come mainly from our two large annual events, the Duck Race and the Vintage Weekend. These are fun days out for all the family.
Vintage Weekend
We have started planning for the 2022 Vintage Weekend on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August 2022.
Easter Monday Duck Race
Even under COVID lock down conditions this was a tremendous success!
It wasn’t just a Duck Race.
We went Totally Quackers with an online event and new opportunities for participation.
Light Up The Valley
Bringing winter light and fun across the Hebden Royd towns and hill side villages!
A real community event helping with recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 restrictions.
Who we support on a regular basis
Shelter Boxes
By providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster, we are transforming despair into hope. We want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster.
Know Your Blood Pressure
For every 10 people diagnosed with high blood pressure, seven remain undiagnosed and untreated – that is more than 5.5 million people in England alone. Via Know Your Blood Pressure events, the Stroke Association is able to reach those at the highest risk.
Shoe Box Scheme
Spreading a little happiness to disadvantaged children and adults in Eastern Europe.
Kids Out
Every June, the Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland together with KidsOut take over 25,000 disadvantaged children on a fun day out. The children visit the seaside, theme parks, adventure playgrounds and zoos, giving them all wonderful memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Technology Tournament
Technology Tournaments inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists and put their STEM skills to the test.
Boundary Walk – A Grand Day Out
Given everyone could do with a breath of fresh air, we are looking at organising some supported walks around Hebden Bridge. More details later.
About Hebden Bridge
Eight miles west of Halifax, Hebden Bridge nestles in the Upper Calder Valley, part of the South Pennines. It has an enviable reputation as “the town with great little shops”.
Visitors to Hebden Bridge come to sample everything from organic cafes with a Bohemian atmosphere to traditional local pubs serving real ale. Delis, gift shops, local bakers, butchers, exotic food – the town has it all with over 150 mainly independent shops as well as its numerous cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs, theatre, one of Britain’s best small music venues, an independent cinema and, of course, the many festivals and organised events.
Hebden Bridge truly lives up to its cool, liberal, artistic and creative credentials.
