What is RotaKids?
RotaKids is a fun and exciting way for children aged 7-12 to make friends and get involved with important activities in the community, all while having a great time in the process.
RotaKids clubs are based in schools, youth groups or community centres and with the help and support from teachers, youth leaders and the local Rotary club, children can gain a valuable experience in helping others and learning interesting, new things.
It also brings an exciting and practical approach to supporting the citizenship element of the national curriculum.
By doing so, children enjoy a boost to their confidence and self-esteem at a key age and develop and understanding of how their actions can impact on others.
Both RotaKids and Interact support the #iwill campaign to create genuine opportunities for young people to generate social change.
Following a presentation from Vale of Belvoir Club at District Council on 11th September, a small group of representatives from interested clubs had a discussion about starting a Rotakids club. We have set up a group to share ideas and mutual support.
If any other clubs are interested, please contact me and I will add you to the group.
