Purley BID is delighted to hold a Corporate Membership with Purley Rotary. We are very grateful for the support that Purley Rotary provides, including joining our regular litter picks, attending board meetings and stewarding at BID events.
For very nearly 100 years, Purley Rotary has served the local Purley community to make a real contribution to the lives of others. As ‘People of Action’, they pool their talents and resources to get things done and genuinely make a difference to local life.
Like all organisations, their activities have been badly hit by Covid-19 but nevertheless since last April they have:
- Organised a community Art Competition of people’s reflections on life in lockdown and turned the 12 winning entries into a 2021 calendar.
- Litter-picked in Purley Rotary Field several times a week to keep it clean and safe.
- Supported Purley Food Hub, the local food bank.
- Donated over £2,500 to other local charities.
- Raised £3,500 COVID funds.
- Raised £8,500 for the Rotary Club in Beirut to aid victims of last August’s explosion in the city.
In addition, they have continued to meet online via Zoom on Wednesday nights, for ‘open chat’ sessions, quizzes and a range of excellent speakers. They comprise of a group of men and women from all walks of life and are always looking for new people to join them to take part in an existing project or set up a new one, while also enjoying good fellowship and having FUN.
