Blackmore Vale Rotary

More than a century ago, Rotary leaders gathered for the first time in 1910 with a simple but powerful idea: that community, connection, and service could change the world.
Today, that same spirit carries forward into the upcoming Rotary International Convention. What started in Chicago as a small group committed to “service above self” has grown into a global movement, yet it’s still rooted in the same human moments: conversations, collaboration, and showing up for something bigger than ourselves.

Loneliness Awareness Week

This week marks Loneliness Awareness Week — an important opportunity to recognise the impact loneliness can have on people of all ages and the value of creating meaningful connections within our communities.

At Rotary, we are proud to offer many ways for people to get involved, meet new people, and make a difference. Whether you join a local club, e-club, Worldwide Fellowship groups or get involved as a direct or corporate member, there are opportunities for everyone. From Rotoract and Interact to Rotakids, each pathway provides a chance to build friendships while making a positive impact both locally and globally.

As we mark this important week, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that help people stay connected, feel supported, and be part of a thriving, inclusive community.
Together, we can help ensure that no one feels alone.

Fellowship in Rotary is the heart of Rotary, if you are lonely, contact us, you always welcome to visit with no obligation to join. Come along and discover how, together, we can make a lasting difference.

What Rotary friendship has had the biggest impact on your life?

Create Lasting Impact — Rotary’s New Presidential Message

Every act of service leaves a mark. As we look ahead to Rotary’s upcoming presidential theme, Create Lasting Impact, we’re reminded that the work we do today shapes the world our communities inherit tomorrow.

From local projects to global initiatives, Rotarians turn compassion into action — and action into change that endures.
