Members of the Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Wylde Green witnessed Aquabox’s latest consignment heading for Haiti after the devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew. The group had travelled to Cromford in Derbyshire for a guided tour of Aquabox’s headquarters.

The charity that is run by volunteers has been working to bring water filters and emergency supplies to those affected by drought, earthquake, typhoon, floods, conflict or facing some other crisis. It does this by working with partner organisations already established in areas of crisis to being relief aid freely to everyone. 

Wylde Green members enjoyed their outing to Halls in August.

When highly acclaimed Midlands pianist, composer and arranger Colin Bell heard that there was to be an afternoon tea to raise funds for Dementia UK supporting Admiral Nurses he was quick to volunteer his services for the afternoon. In 2013 Rotarian Colin received a Civic Award from the Mayor of Solihull, where he and his wife Julia live, in recognition of him having made a real difference in his community.

Over 125 people sat down to Afternoon Tea at Curdworth Village Hall, raising over £1200 for Dementia UK supporting Admiral Nurses. The event was hosted by the Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Wylde Green.

Admiral Nurse Jackie Aird praised the fundraising efforts and said: 'This latest piece of fundraising by the Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Wylde Green comes not long after another donation they have made following a sponsored walk they organised last autumn. They have raised around £6000 in total for which, on behalf of Dementia UK and Admiral Nurses I would like to say a huge 'thank you'. Their combined efforts have seen fantastic results. I know how very well received the funds will be in supporting carers of people with dementia in the local area.'
