Rotary is the largest international organisation dedicated to the relief and eradification of hardship throughout the world. Our major involvement with other agencies has practically cleared the world of Polio and ensured a polio free life for hundreds of thousands of children. Locally we have supported many other local charities including major donations to the Andover Food Bank, during and since the Covid pandemic. We have also supported the special and primary schools in the Andover area.
