About Us
The Rotary Club of Sandwich is part of District 1120 and was founded on 5th January 1956. Its membership is made up of residents of Sandwich and surrounding villages. Currently there are 37 members and we are always pleased to welcome anyone who wishes to join us.
Whether you are volunteering by helping your local community to set up a foodbank or responding to local or international disasters, there is a project or activity to suit everyone. By volunteering with Rotary you know that you will be changing people's lives for the better. Being part of Rotary is more than just giving back to the community by volunteering. It is also about bringing your skills, experience and enthusiasm to help it thrive whilst making some great friends along the way. Our clubs are friendly places which invite speakers from a wide range of knowledge, increasing your social and cultural understanding. Members also share a common interest in friendship and if you visit any of our clubs around the world you will immediately feel the sense of camaraderie and fun.
