Hard-working Rotarians in Lyme Regis are staging a major online auction next month to boost their coffers after a year when fundraising was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
Press officer Peter Fortnam explained: “The Rotary Club of Lyme Regis are proud to have been able to continue supporting local, regional and international charities and causes over the last year despite the difficulties we have all endured through this pandemic.
“We have distributed over £18,000 in the calendar year. Our largest donation was to the Dorset County Hospital Cancer Charity Appeal. We also supported the Dorset Julia’s House Children’s Hospice and the highly successful West Dorset Scrubbers Appeal, a group of volunteers from our community who did such a great job in providing much needed PPE to our hospitals, care homes and local surgeries.”
