Who We Are

 Christchurch Rotary is part of Rotary International.  We are a group of like minded people who meet regularly for fun and friendship.  As registered charity our purpose is to raise money for local community charities and projects, as well as selected international projects by putting on events and seeking donations from our members and from the community.  100% of the money we raise is put back into our projects or passed on to our charities

Who We Raise Money For

No cause is to big or too small and all applications for support are welcomed and are swiftly dealt with by the appropriate committee. Our international focus in recent years has been on End Polio Now and ShelterBox but you can see in more detail the range of local projects we have supported here 

Who Are We Looking For

Christchurch Rotary welcomes new members from all walks of life who feel they would like to put something positive back into their community whilst developing new friendships.  We also seek to strengthen existing relationships with business in Christchurch and to develop new relationships giving business opportunities for social good whilst raising their profile in the community.
