Community Service
Serving our Local Community

Community service is an opportunity for our Club to examine and respond to the needs of the less fortunate in our community, to show our concern for those who are handicapped or deprived and to give practical assistance and encouragement to those in need.

We try and strike a balance between acts of personal service by Rotarians, which demand mainly time and energy but only relatively small amounts of cash, and larger fund raising schemes.

Here are some examples of community service by Club members:

The Stroke Association
High blood pressure can be a cause of strokes, The Stroke Association Know Your Blood Pressure Day will be on Saturday 18 April 2009 when the club will invite people in Southgate to have a free blood pressure check.

Evening Pub Outing
Every year we take members of Southgate Homebound to a pub in Hertfordshire for an evening of socialising.

Christmas Collections
Every year club members stand outside supermarkets, come rain or shine, collecting money from the shoppers for local and international charities.

During 2008/9 Southgate Rotary Club will provide support and assistance to:
 
Enfield Club House

The North London Hospice
Children's Voices of Enfield
Kid's Out

During Rotary's Centenary Year 2005, the then four Enfield Rotary Clubs, Bush Hill Park, Edmonton, Enfield and Southgate, each raised £5000 to pay for a bus which was donated to BEVAD to transport the infirm of Enfield.
