The Rotary Club of West Fife carries out a huge range of activities and projects aimed at helping to make people’s lives better both locally as well as supporting a range of national charities and reaching out to those in need overseas.

Our experience and skills in community work and volunteering place us in an ideal position to work with organisations such as local businesses, charities, universities, schools, hospitals and environmental groups to support a large variety of good causes.

Our club is a friendly place which invites speakers from a wide range of backgrounds to share their knowledge. Our members share a common interest in friendship and making a difference to our community.

The Fund Raising Committee is responsible for generating the resources to faciliate the activities of the Rotary Club of West Fife.

The main events include: The Ultimate Quiz and AM AM Golf Day.

Our fundraising programme in any Rotary Year is tailored to suit the budgetary requirements of the Service Committee, but as a base point we would intend to run our Ultimate Quiz night in conjunction with Children in Need in November and our well established AM-AM Golf event in the last week in May. The opportunity to apply for District Simplified Grants will also be assessed in finalising our budgetary requirements for the year.
