Happy Rotary Day!

On the 23rd February in 1905, Rotary International was formed by Chicago-based lawyer, Paul Harris. 

118 years later Rotary now has 1.4 million members in over 35,000 clubs in over 200 countries and is one of the world’s largest and most successful membership and humanitarian service organisations

Give yourself the gift of Rotary this year by joining us. Joining Rotary gives you the platform to make a difference through volunteering. If you’ve got a cause you’re passionate about, or a project you want to get off the ground, Rotary is the place to turn your ideas into action.

Show your Support for Ukraine on Friday

Friday marks the first anniversary of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and we’ll be joining with the Ukrainian community in Wolverhampton to show our support for their resistance

Everyone is invited to the rally hosted by the City Council outside of the Civic Centre in Wolverhampton starting from 10:00am on the 24th February. 

The event will include the raising of the Ukrainian flag at 10:45 followed by speeches from members of the Ukrainian community and the Mayor of Wolverhampton before taking part in the minute of silence which is being held across the country at 11:00am.

Can’t make the rally? You can still show your support by wearing blue and yellow on the day, flying a Ukrainian flag and by posting your support on social media.

Supporting Ukraine

Tettenhall Rotary Club has received special recognition for the humanitarian assistance which it’s members have given to the people of the Ukraine.


As we mark the anniversary of the Russian invasion Wolverhampton’s Ukrainian community presented Rotary Club President Mark Heywood with a certificate of thanks from the citizens and soldiers of the Ukraine.


Working with its supporters and with other Wolverhampton based charities and voluntary groups the Tettenhall Club has donated power generators, gas stoves, drones and power banks all of which have been delivered to the areas of greatest need with the help of the City’s Ukrainian Association who have shipped more than 500 tonnes of aid to the country.



Club President Mark Heywood gratefully received the award from Ian and Slava Madylus – members of the local Ukrainian community who have worked tirelessly to ensure that aid reaches those in need

Ian and Slava also made a special presentation of a Ukrainian Mace to Club member Chris Kraushar who has led the work of the Club in support of Ukraine 

The  anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine reminds us of the continuing need to support the people of the Ukraine who are fighting for their very existence, against a vastly more powerful attacker and who  are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance
