The Rotary Club of Mapperley and Arnold provide opportunities to be involved in this vibrant area of Nottingham. We as Rotarians share a philosophy of ‘Service Above Self’ helping not only the local communities but also assisting in international projects such as polio vaccination throughout the world. We are involved in raising funds, through a range of activities, for a wide variety of charities. Why not come and see us? We will always welcome guests and indeed new members.We meet every Wednesday evening JOIN US, please do come and join us.
The Santa Sleigh is one of our major fund raising events of the year. Money raised from this event funds work with local charities for the following year.
Through the year, your generosity helps to support carefully selected and worthwhile local, national and international charities and appeals.
For example, in 2018 we have been involved with establishing new gardens for The Hospice and supporting a wide range of Gedling Play Days throughout our area.
