💜 WHY IS BRIDPORT TOWN HALL CLOCK PURPLE? 💜

The purple glow raises awareness of three important causes:

💜 PoTS Awareness – supporting those living with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome.

💜 Pancreatic Cancer Awareness – highlighting the Turn It Purple campaign in November.

💜 World Polio Day – symbolising the purple dye used to mark children vaccinated against polio.

🌍 Brit Valley Rotary and Rotary clubs around the world are proud to support the fight to End Polio Now!

Together, we can help raise awareness and create a healthier world for everyone. 💜

🎉 A Wonderful Day for St Mary’s Church, Burton Bradstock! 🎉
Brit Valley Rotary Club was delighted to be part of the official opening of the fantastic new soft play area at St Mary’s Church, Burton Bradstock! 🧸🎈
The project, with a total cost of £20,000, has created a wonderful new space for young children to play, explore and enjoy.
The Reverend Andrew Rawding, who led the project, gave a heartfelt speech thanking everyone who had helped make this fantastic achievement possible. He gave a special mention to all the young children who attended the opening, making it an extra special occasion. ❤️
The project was made possible thanks to the generosity and support of so many people and organisations, including:
👏 Burton Bradstock Fete, for its generous donation.
👏 Everyone who contributed privately.
👏 All those who donated through the crowdfunding page organised by Brit Valley Rotary.
👏 Palmers Brewery, whose match funding helped make this project a reality.
👏 Brit Valley Rotary Club, which was also pleased to make a donation towards the project.
Brit Valley Rotary was proudly represented at the event by President Adrian Scadding and Ian Ibbotson.
A special moment came when Adrian Scadding officially cut the ribbon to open the new play area, assisted by Darren Batten, Head Brewer at Palmers Brewery. ✂️🎀
This is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared vision. The new soft play area will provide a welcoming space for families and bring smiles to the faces of many children for years to come.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making this fantastic project a success! 👏💙

🍫💉 A chocolate bar or a life-saving vaccine – what would you choose?

It’s incredible to think that a simple chocolate bar can cost more than a vaccine that helps protect a child from polio.

This World Polio Day, 24 October, let’s remember that every donation, no matter how small, can make a BIG difference. Together, we can protect children, save lives and help create a world free from polio. 🌍❤️

💜 The sweetest victory? A world without polio!

End Polio Now!

❤️ Brit Valley Rotary Helping to Save Lives! ❤️

Brit Valley Rotary Club was delighted to organise, in conjunction with Beaminster School, a CPR training day for Year 9 students, giving them the opportunity to learn valuable skills that could one day help save someone’s life.

👏 A fantastic 128 students took part across five training sessions, learning about the importance of CPR and how to respond in an emergency.

To make this event possible, Brit Valley Rotary contacted Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, who were more than happy to support us with this important initiative. We are extremely grateful for their help and for sharing their knowledge and expertise with the students.

Learning CPR can make a real difference. In an emergency, knowing what to do and having the confidence to act could help save a life. By giving young people these skills, we are helping to create a community where more people know how to respond when it matters most.

A huge thank you to Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, Beaminster School, and everyone involved in making this worthwhile event such a success.

💛 Brit Valley Rotary – making a difference in our local community, one project at a time!

🎉 Brit Valley Rotary Club is delighted to announce that Beaminster School has become our latest Corporate Member! 🤝

This is an exciting step forward in strengthening the excellent relationship between our club and the school, creating opportunities for us to work even more closely together for the benefit of our local community.

Through this partnership, students from Beaminster School will have the opportunity to get involved in our community projects, supporting the work we do to help local people and organisations. In return, Brit Valley Rotary will continue to support the school in its own projects, activities and youth initiatives.

We will also continue to organise and promote our popular youth competitions, including Young Chef, Young Photographer, Young Artist, Young Speaker, Young Writer and many other opportunities that encourage young people to develop their skills, confidence and talents. 🌟

We believe that working together will bring real benefits to both the students and our wider community, helping to inspire the next generation of young people to make a difference.

A big welcome to Beaminster School as part of the Brit Valley Rotary family! We look forward to building an even stronger partnership and achieving great things together. 💛💙
