Our causes
As Rotary members, we share the same goal: making meaningful change in our local community and in communities around the world.
Rotary members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. They generously give their time, talents, professional skills and energy to improve the lives of people both locally and around the world—while also building lasting friendships and enjoying working together for the benefit of others.
Local community
Lyme Regis Rotarians find ways to improve the quality of life for people in our local communities and to serve the public interest.
Global community
Rotary, whilst deeply rooted in local communities, has a global outlook, ready to tackle challenges both locally, nationally and globally. Our causes build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world whilst also supporting our peace efforts and end polio forever.
Promoting peace
Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
Fighting disease
Building on our successful fight to eliminate polio, we bring together global experts, national health systems, and local leaders to improve and expand access to health care and prevent the spread of diseases like malaria so that everyone can lead healthy lives.
Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
We share our expertise and partner with communities to increase access to vital water, sanitation, and hygiene services and resources particularly in schools and healthcare facilities so that more communities and people can grow and thrive..
Improving maternal and child health
By connecting mothers and children to nutrition, health care, and sanitary tools, we increase wellbeing for families and communities.
Supporting education
We strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy at all stages of learning, through training teachers and focusing on foundational literacy skills, opening up new possibilities for the future.
Growing local economies
Leveraging the collective business and professional expertise of our members, we expand the potential for economic development, especially for youth and women, so that more people and communities can prosper.
Protecting the environment
Together with local leaders, we take action to find innovative solutions and develop sustainable service projects to strengthen our local ecosystems and our planet and create a greener and more stable future for us all.
