Welcome to the Membership resource area

Every Rotarian needs to be a Rotary Ambassador if we are to successfully meet the Membership challenge, we are facing. I have been really encouraged in the responses from Clubs I have kindly been given the opportunity to talk with in the last few of months. There is clearly a sense of optimism and a willingness to be positive moving forward.

It is our intention to “park” information/presentations/news articles, which we believe will support Clubs in Membership initiatives, in this area. Any attempt to try something new, different, fun, may be turned into a membership recruitment opportunity – as well as helping to engage current members.

After making an initial visit to any new ideas, Robert and I will “advertise” when we add new information. This will save you having to keep going back unnecessarily.

Please keep in touch with Robert and me regarding any membership initiatives you may be planning. If we can, we`ll be glad to help. Don`t forget, there is also some financial support available from District.

Membership & Marketing Support Fund

The fund will be administered during 2023/4 by the District Lead for Membership and their Deputy, to ensure consistency of agreeing to bids. These will then be signed off by the District Treasurer. Clubs will need to indicate “intended expenditure costs” in advance of any approval for funding.

The criteria for applying are:

  • The event must be centred on recruitment.
  • Be match funded by the Club.
  • The TOTAL available to any one Club will be no more than £150.
  • The application must be costed with potential Membership benefits outlined.
  • Submit outcomes, including “lessons learnt” following the event.
  • Be prepared to share outcomes as best practice.
  • Clubs who have NOT been supported from this fund, will be given priority ahead of those who have had financial support previously.
  • Clubs may combine with each other in submitting bids from the “Membership & Public Image Support Fund” – NOTE – this does not meen multiples of £150.
  • Clubs should include their bank details on the form to assist the treasurer in making a prompt settlement.

An application form is available by clicking here

Once completed the Form should be forwarded to the District Membership Team Lead or Deputy.
