It’s been a busy time for the Rotary Club of Stowmarket Gipping Valley when members came together on the streets of Stowmarket to raise nearly £350 towards the victims of the horrendous earthquake in Turkey and Syria (pictured below).
They have already sent a shelter box out to the affected area.
Meanwhile, member Peter Andrews presented the Chief Suffolk Fire Officer a cheque for £7,500 on behalf of the Suffolk Rotary Clubs for the protection of vulnerable people by the installation of fire alarms in their homes.
The scheme was started seven years ago by the Stowmarket Gipping Valley Rotary Club and has since raised £80,000 which has helped to save many lives in Suffolk.
The Rotary Club of Stowmarket Gipping Valley meet every two weeks on a Thursday by Zoom and also face to face. If you would like to see how they operate email richard@tingeys.co.uk or phone 07834 247244.
