People join Rotary for many different reasons. They stay because of the experience.
Our District Governor has identified three priorities for the Rotary Years 26/27 and 27/28: Membership Experience, Service and Public Image. They are closely linked. Great service creates meaningful experiences. Those experiences become stories worth sharing. Those stories inspire others to get involved.
For our clubs, this means creating a Rotary experience that members genuinely enjoy and value. For those considering joining Rotary, it means offering the opportunity to experience who we are, what we do and the difference we make before making any commitment.
Our aim across District 1220 is simple: to help every club create an outstanding membership experience that attracts new people and gives existing members every reason to stay.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to make a difference, meet new people, develop new skills or simply become more involved in your local community, we’d love to welcome you.
District 1220 is a thriving network of Rotary clubs across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. Together, we are part of Rotary International – a global family of more than 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who take action to create lasting change in our communities and around the world.
For more than 100 years, Rotary has been improving lives through service. Our members support local charities, organise community projects, respond to disasters, champion young people, protect the environment and work together to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, including disease prevention, access to clean water, education, peacebuilding and economic development.
Every Rotary club has its own character, projects and meeting style, so there is no such thing as a “typical” Rotary member. We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and professions who share a desire to give something back.
Whether you have an hour a month or several hours a week, there is a place for you in Rotary. You might find yourself helping at a local food bank, mentoring young people, planting trees, organising community events, supporting families in need or contributing to an international humanitarian project. However you choose to get involved, you’ll be joining a team of people who care about making a positive difference.
Rotary is about friendship, belonging and shared purpose. Many members discover a vibrant social calendar alongside opportunities for personal and professional development. The friendships you make through Rotary often last a lifetime.
Our role as a District is to help every club provide an outstanding membership experience by sharing ideas, developing leaders, promoting innovation and supporting clubs to thrive.
When clubs create meaningful service opportunities, tell their stories well and provide a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong, membership naturally grows. Existing members remain engaged, prospective members see the value of Rotary, and our clubs become stronger, more resilient and better able to serve their communities.
